About Whitney Museum of American Art
The Whitney Museum of American Art sits in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District at 99 Gansevoort Street, beside the Hudson River. Founded in 1930, it focuses on 20th- and 21st-century American art through rotating exhibitions, film and performance programs, and the recurring Whitney Biennial. The current building opened in 2015 and includes gallery floors and outdoor terraces used for installations and public programs. It is a museum that tracks the present tense of American art while keeping its institutional origins in view.
