⚠⚠ IT IS OPEN — THE STUDIO MUSEUM REOPENED ON 15 NOVEMBER 2025 AFTER A SEVEN-YEAR CLOSURE, and almost everything written about it between 2018 and late 2025 says otherwise. ⚠ THE NEW BUILDING is an 82,000 sq ft, $300 million, seven-storey home by Adjaye Associates with Cooper Robertson — the first purpose-built facility in the institution's 57-year history, with roughly double the exhibition space. ⚠ CHECK studiomuseum.org FOR HOURS AND ADMISSION: the museum ran a SUGGESTED-DONATION model before the closure and the new policy was NOT VERIFIED for this file. ⚠ AUTUMN 2026: 'Geometries' from the permanent collection, and 'A sustained becoming' showing the 2026 artists in residence, 1 OCTOBER 2026 TO 3 JANUARY 2027. ⚠ THESE DATES WILL NEED REVISITING IN 2027. ⚠ Sit on the stoop and go up to the roof — most visitors do neither.
