At 146,000 square feet with 32 galleries, its footprint is roughly double the exhibition space of Paris\u2019 Picasso Museum. The project made headlines from the start: designs by Adjaye Associates show a striking mix of classical and contemporary spaces, with a Brutalist exterior and light-filled interiors finished in warm blue spruce. There\u2019s a surprisingly dense roster of bold-faced names\u2014Rodin, Manet, Monet, Degas, Kandinsky\u2014but careful attention has also been paid to North and Latin American artists through the 21st century, with six new commissions and acquisitions showcasing women and artists of color, including Syrian-born sculptor Diana Al-Hadid. To combat museum fatigue, curators play with juxtapositions: a Nick Cave Soundsuit next to an Edo-period samurai suit; Andy Warhol\u2019s Blue Marilyn, a 1962 screenprint of Marilyn Monroe as a sacred icon, facing a late-14th-century Florentine Virgin and Child. Anchoring it all is a colossal, 37-ft.-tall Cave mosaic at the entrance\u2014a mixed-media \u201cself-portrait\u201d done as a wall relief\u2014that ushers visitors into what\u2019s poised to become a landmark museum. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Princeton University punched well above its weight class with the October 2025 unveiling of its new art museum.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":381841,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[267],"tags":[365,362,363,364,366,18,117,23268,19,17,23269,384,175267],"class_list":["post-381840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-design","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-franchise","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-list","tag-united-states","tag-worlds-greatest-places"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116217816415997657","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381840\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
