The Making of a Museum: 50 years

For fifty years, the Neuberger Museum of Art has fostered learning, sparked the creative process, and investigated understandings of the world in which we live through its collections, exhibitions, and education programs. Its first exhibition, a 1974 project entitled The Making of a Museum: 1, featured many of the works of art that form the core of our current collection. In honor of the Museum’s 50th anniversary, a multi-part exhibition entitled The Making of a Museum: 50 Years features four distinct projects that will be unveiled at different times over the course of Spring 2024. Each tells a part of the compelling story of how the Neuberger became one of the country’s most respected and important academic museums.
