Whitney Museum of American Art

The Whitney serves as a platform for discovering the richness and complexity of American art through exhibitions that engage with pressing issues and leading artists of our time. Its signature programme, the Whitney Biennial, acts as the longest-running survey of American art, providing a space where artists test boundaries and shape culture.

The Whitney Museum of American Art is a museum dedicated to American art and artists, founded by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney in 1930. Located in New York City’s Meatpacking District, the institution houses a collection of over 27,000 works by more than 4,000 artists and operates out of a Renzo Piano-designed building. It offers extensive public programming, including family activities, educational courses, and free admission on specific days.
