A Statement from The Architectural League:

We are deeply disappointed by the Museum of Modern Art’s decision to demolish the American Folk Art Museum building. The failure of MoMA to make saving this significant work of architecture a starting premise of its expansion plan marks a sad day for the city and for a cultural institution that has been known as a steward and advocate for architecture and design.

The Architectural League, the Municipal Art Society, and the American Institute of Architects New York Chapter have organized a conversation on the Museum of Modern Art’s plan for expansion.
