Work has officially broken ground on the Oscar L. Tang and H.M. Agnes Hsu-Tang Wing, a multistory expansion of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by Frida Escobedo with Beyer Blinder Belle as the executive architect, the addition will span 126,000 square feet, including 71,000 square feet for The Met’s 20th- and 21st-century art collection. The annex will also contain 18,500 square feet of outdoor space, and improved circulation and sustainability. The new structure will rise from within the museum’s existing footprint, replacing the aging 120,000-square-foot wing that currently sits at the southwest corner of the site.
