The renovation — designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Gensler — will include additional space from the demolished American Folk Art Museum. The first exhibition at the “Studio Museum at MoMA” will feature the Kenyan-born artist Michael Armitage. In the new MoMA, some individual galleries will still be medium-specific — but visitors will find several possible routes through the expanded museum. Another new space, the second-floor Platform, will be a place for visitors to make art and join conversations. “We’re trying to make a visit to the museum a comfortable, enjoyable experience that lets you move back and forth from looking at art to talking about art to thinking about art,” Lowry said.
