Beyer Blinder Belle has guided the restoration of Marcel Breuer’s iconic 1966 building, originally designed as the Whitney Museum, and helped transform it into The Met Breuer. In this iconic space, The Metropolitan Museum of Art presents exhibitions of modern and contemporary art. The building is bold and intimate at the same time, with an integrity, beauty, and honesty of design, materials, and execution that places it among the most distinguished mid-century modern buildings in New York.
