The Bronx Museum South Wing Expansion

The Bronx Museum South Wing expansion is seeking to reposition the institution into a new era that looks into welcoming the community to the space and to project the values of the institution towards a global audience. The intervention re-imagines the entrance, connects the circulation throughout all the galleries and creates a unified experience that invites all users to be immersed into the spaces and the art.



A new gallery space at the intersection of Grand Concourse and 165th Street and a future cafe, serves as an interface toward making the museum accessible to all and remove the spatial and institutional barriers that permeates in traditional museum design.

The new entrance is relocated to a prominent corner, establishing a strong connection between the public realm and the museum's interior. Inside, we reimagine the circulation, creating a seamless flow from one gallery to another, enhancing the visitor experience and encouraging exploration.
