Studio Museum in Harlem Sets November 2025 Reopening

The Studio Museum in Harlem will reopen its new 82,000-square-foot, seven-story building at 125th Street on November 15, 2025, following a seven-year closure for renovation and expansion. Designed by Adjaye Associates, the building features expanded exhibition areas, artist studios, education centers, and outdoor spaces. The reopening will include a major exhibition focusing on Tom Lloyd, who inaugurated the museum in 1968, as well as shows featuring Artist-in-Residence alumni, archival material, and new site-specific commissions. Iconic works such as David Hammons’s 'Untitled (African American Flag)' will be reinstalled. The museum surpassed its original $175 million fundraising goal, raising over $300 million, and maintained off-site programming throughout the closure. Admission will be $16 for adults, with discounts for seniors, students, children, and visitors with disabilities.
