New Museums

the long version

The twenty-first century has ushered in a boom in the design of innovative museums worldwide and an expanding concept of the museum's role and identity. Museums today are frequently more than repositories for historical art: they can be research centers, memorials, contemporary galleries, or site-specific artworks in themselves. New Museums presents a selection of twenty-seven notable museums built around the world in recent years, each distinguished by its unique architectural design and function.
