The expansion to the west end of the site will feature a stack of vertically interlocking galleries of varying heights.

The new western portion of the Museum will be dedicated almost entirely to the display of art. The goals for the project are threefold: to increase gallery space and allow the Museum to exhibit significantly more of its diverse collection in deeper and more interdisciplinary ways, to provide visitors with a more welcoming and comfortable experience, and to better connect the Museum to the urban fabric of midtown Manhattan.
