Budgetary constraints have led the Metropolitan Museum to close the Met Breuer. The building will the temporary home of the Frick Collection, which is looking to renovate its Gilded Age mansion on nearby Fifth Avenue and East 70th Street to expand exhibition space.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's modern and contemporary art program includes exhibitions, performances, artist commissions, residencies, and educational initiatives in the landmark building designed by Marcel Breuer [BROY-er] on Madison Avenue and 75th Street. The Met Breuer provides additional space for the public to explore the art of the 20th and 21st centuries through the global breadth and historical reach of The Met's unparalleled collection.
