Frida Escobedo Unveils Design for The Met's Expanded Tang Wing

The limestone-clad addition will increase gallery space by 50% and is the first wing in the museum's history designed by a woman.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has revealed designs for its expanded Tang Wing, created by Mexican architect Frida Escobedo.
The project will add 50% more gallery space to the museum's modern and contemporary art wing, while improving accessibility and circulation.
The design incorporates a tiered limestone façade inspired by global architectural traditions and the museum's historical context.
Outdoor terraces, gardens, and enhanced landscaping will integrate the building with its Central Park surroundings.
Scheduled for completion in 2030, the project marks The Met's most ambitious construction effort in decades.
