Last Thursday, July 11, The Bronx Museum officially broke ground on our transformative $33 million renovation designed by award-winning architectural practice, Marvel 🎉 This project will create the world-class arts facility the people of The Bronx deserve and the Museum needs to further elevate and expand access to its vital free arts programming. Marvel 's design will seamlessly unite the Museum's buildings into one recognizable campus; create a continuous and fully accessible gallery loop; reorient the main entrance to the highly visible corner of 165th St and Grand Concourse; and add a new triple-height lobby space with an adjoining cafe. During construction, the Museum's North Wing remains open at regular hours—Wednesday through Sunday from 11AM to 6PM—with free admission for everyone to all exhibitions, events, and activities! This renovation was made possible thanks to: 💫 Funding and support from public officials and agencies including Bronx Borough President Hon. Vanessa L. Gibson, MPA (She, Her, Hers, Ella), NYC Council Member for District 16 Althea Stevens, Speaker of the New York City Council Adrienne Adams, The Bronx Delegation of the New York City Council, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, the NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services, and so many others. 💫 Oversight by the Nyc Economic Development Corp 💫 The team at Marvel 's brilliant design work 💫 On-site construction facilitated by Consigli Construction Co., Inc. 💫 And the dedication of The Bronx Museum staff and Board of Trustees, especially Board Chair Joseph Mizzi, Executive Director Klaudio Rodriguez, Deputy Director Shirley S., and former Executive Director Holly Block.
