Part of the museum’s 60,000 sq ft expansion, this restaurant goes beyond traditional museum dining to serve as a true neighborhood destination for the art world. Developed in close collaboration with leading contemporary artists, the space features commissioned designs and works by Ian Cheng, Laurie Anderson, and Minjea Kim.
