The New Museum<\/div>\n<\/div><\/strong>New York City has always been relentlessly devoted to the new:<\/strong> the new hot restaurant, new hot club and new hot neighborhood. It’s only fitting that it’s home to The New Museum of Contemporary Art. Located in the Lower East Side<\/a> in downtown Manhattan, the New Museum is committed solely to contemporary art. If you’re looking to see what’s new in the art world this summer, you won’t want to miss this museum.<\/p>\n

For over 30 years the New Museum has had one mission: to promote new art and new ideas. It’s been an incubator for emerging artists from around the world. In fact, some of today’s biggest art world stars showed at the museum early in their careers, including Keith Haring, Richard Prince and Jeff Koons.<\/p>\n

While the museum was founded in 1977, it didn’t find a permanent home until December 2007, when it opened its first freestanding building at 235 Bowery. Designed by Tokyo-based architects Sejima + Nishizawa\/SANAA, the seven-story building looks like a teetering stack of rectangular cubes. It is a bold architectural addition to the gritty Bowery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from 12:00 – 6:00 pm, but stays open until 9:00 pm on Fridays. For information on current and upcoming exhibits, visit the New Museum’s\u00a0official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
