Long-Serving MoMA Director Glenn Lowry to Step Down in 2025

Lowry's 30-year tenure saw major expansions, record visitor numbers, and increased endowment.

Glenn Lowry has announced his departure from MoMA, effective September 2025.
Under Lowry's leadership, MoMA underwent significant renovations and expansions, including a major 2019 rehang.
The museum's endowment grew nearly fourfold to almost $1 billion during his directorship.
Admission fees and visitor numbers both increased, with MoMA becoming the third-most-visited U.S. art museum.
Lowry's tenure included a controversial merger with P.S.1 and initiatives addressing social themes through art.
