With the completion of four new rooms including a library and a camera obscura housed in what was once a janitorial closet, the facility at the Victoria and Albert Museum is the largest of its kind in the UK.

Design commissions for the Shelburne Museum and Kiran Nadar Museum of Art are announced and make their Venice Architecture Biennale debuts, respectively.

Rounding out the five-team shortlist for the planned Washington, D.C., museum is Perkins&Will, DLR Group, and Quinn Evans. 

The two planned museums will join Centre Pompidou x Jersey City as the newest satellite locations for the Paris-based modern and contemporary art powerhouse.
