The 2004 expansion and reconfiguration of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) was designed by the Japanese architect Yoshio Taniguchi.12

Selected for the project in 1997, Taniguchi’s design significantly transformed the museum by relocating the main entrance, adding large skylights to the galleries, and constructing two new extensions that flank the museum's iconic sculpture garden. This project, which was his first commission outside of Japan, also included the addition of an education and research complex to expand the institution's facilities.12
