Fall Reveal 2021
Discover new works from our Dynamic Collection
As we build toward a broader, more inclusive view of modern and contemporary art, our collection changes. Each spring and fall, along with ongoing swaps throughout the year, we reveal major new presentations to bring artwork together in different combinations, exploring new artists and ideas. This is a Dynamic Collection.
For the 2021 Fall Reveal we’ve mixed more than 350 new works into our collection displays on floors 2, 4, and 5. Among them you’ll find galleries that bring together artists confronting systems of power, or examine the enduring legacy of the Bauhaus, as well as ones devoted to large-scale installations that share healing through sound and sculpture or that demonstrate the power of art to bridge divides.
Explore these entirely new galleries below, and discover something new every time you visit. Become a member for unlimited free admission, behind-the-scenes programs, and exclusive viewing hours.
