Description

The twenty-first century has ushered in a boom in the design of innovative museums worldwide and an expanding concept of the role and identity of museums.

New Museums presents a selection of 27 notable museums built around the world in recent years, all distinguished by the quality of their architectural design and function. Included are the Schaulager in Basel, by Herzog + de Meuron; the Nasher Sculpture Centre in Dallas, Texas, by Renzo Piano; the Great Court at the British Museum in London, by Foster + Partners; and Horiyuji Treasures Gallery in Tokyo, by Yoshio Taniguchi, among others.
