Museums (IV): New

The newer New York museums are also worth a visit, even if only for the sake of architecture:

New Museum of Contemporary Art (235 Bowery) [December 2007]
Why: "New Art, New Ideas". And an unusual building that resembles an uneven stack of white boxes. Cool.
Museum of Arts and Design (2 Columbus Circle) [September 2008]
Why: Brand new. Actually, neither the museum nor the building is new. It's the new home of the museum in a building that used to be one of the ugliest in the city. It had a makeover. Check it out.
