The Metropolitan Museum of Art has reached a historic milestone with the approval of its new Tang Wing, a dedicated space for modern and contemporary art. Following a four-hour meeting, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission unanimously endorsed the project, praising Frida Escobedo’s design as “refined and elegant,” “powerful architecture,” and a true reflection of the museum’s “love for the public.” The Tang Wing will seamlessly integrate The Met’s diverse architectural heritage while drawing inspiration from its iconic setting in Central Park, offering dynamic new spaces that honor the past and look boldly toward the future of art history. The museum expressed pride in its team and gratitude to the commissioners and supporters who have championed this visionary project.
