This museum places an emphasis on modern American art. It has grown in popularity in recent years, and thanks to an expansion in 1998 there is now a permanent collection on display. Select pieces are housed in the Leonard and Evelyn Lauder Galleries on the fifth floor, including art by Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Alexander Calder. The building itself is an extraordinary sight, designed by Marcel Breuer, it resembles an upside down pyramid.
