About
The Whitney Museum of American Art in the Meatpacking District is the premier institution dedicated to 20th- and 21st-century American art. Its collection of nearly 25,000 works focuses exclusively on art by living or recently deceased American artists, and the museum's Whitney Biennial — held every two years since 1932 — is the most prestigious survey of contemporary American art. Renzo Piano's 2015 building offers sweeping views of the Hudson River and High Line.
