The Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) is set to reopen its doors on 20 November after a $858m (£470m) revamp.

Founded in 1935, the revamp of the 630,000sq ft museum has nearly doubled its exhibition space. The new David and Peggy Rockefeller Gallery Building now houses the museum’s main collection and there are also an additional six temporary exhibition galleries.

Japanese architect Yoshio Taniguchi designed the museums refurbishment. It included the construction of a 110ft high light-filled atrium as well as two Titus theatres below the lobby, which will host the MoMA’s film and media facilities.

One floor of the Manhattan site will display contemporary art and include galleries for prints and illustrated books plus a media gallery, café and bookstore reading room.

Another floor will feature gallery space for architecture and design, drawings, photography and temporary exhibitions with fixed and variable galleries on the fourth and fifth floors devoted to painting and sculpture.

The museum will also offer five times more space for educational and research activities, including an expanded library and archives, a reading room, a 125-seat auditorium, workshop space for teacher training programmes and study centres.

Further additions to the museum include a fine dining restaurant and two cafés which will be operated by Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group.
