Grey Art Gallery

The Grey Art Gallery is a museum in Manhattan's NoHo neighborhood that shows contemporary and historical artworks in dedicated gallery spaces. The building itself was redesigned to provide more room for the growing collection and visitor displays.

The museum was founded in 1975 after a private collector donated her artworks, and was initially housed in another university building. In 2024 it moved into its first freestanding building, allowing curators to display the collection more completely.

The museum displays works from Iran, India, and Turkey alongside American and European art from after 1945. You can see how artists from different cultures explored similar themes in their own distinctive ways.

You can visit the galleries on different days at various times throughout the week. It is best to check the opening hours before your visit, as times may change depending on the season or special exhibitions.

The museum houses one of the largest collections of art from the Middle East outside that region, making it a significant place for this artistic tradition. This collection came from a single donation, showing how individual collectors help preserve artistic diversity.
