The Studio Museum in Harlem

ArtOpen until 6pmFrom $16125 St (2, 3) at Malcolm X Blvd/Lenox Ave

Fondé en 1968, The Studio Museum in Harlem est consacré aux artistes d'origine africaine et à l'art inspiré par la culture noire. Sa collection couvre deux siècles et réunit des œuvres de Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, Elizabeth Catlett et Betye Saar, ainsi qu'un fonds d'archives célèbre consacré aux photographies de Harlem par James VanDerZee. En novembre 2025, le musée a rouvert ses portes dans un bâtiment de sept étages et 82 000 pieds carrés conçu par David Adjaye, le premier édifice construit spécifiquement pour l'institution. Il est tout aussi réputé pour son programme pionnier de résidences d'artistes, à l'origine même de son nom.
