The long-awaited new building of the American Museum of Natural History
Gilder Center (USA/New York)
The much talked about new wing has opened at one of New York's most popular museums, which is visited by 5 million people a year. The building, reminiscent of caves and bones both inside and out, was designed by the now-popular Studio Gang, and was inspired by the great canyons of the American Southwest.
Highlights of the exhibits include the "Unknown World of Elephants," the "Butterfly Vivarium" where you can play with 80 types of butterflies, and the immersive "Invisible World" where you can experience a video of the Earth, which is normally out of reach of the human eye.

Eames Institute (Richmond, USA)
Unlike a regular museum, the museum can only be visited on a guided tour, and you can even have the luxury of being guided by Eames' granddaughter and chief curator, Lisa Dimitrios.
The museum houses approximately 40,000 items, most of which were moved from the Eames office, including not only their works but also their earliest prototypes, large sculptures, and private documents. By touring the facility, which consists of a gallery, collection, and archive, you can experience not only their creative process and design approach, but also their lives.

A long-awaited museum opens in the movie town of LA
Academy Museum of Motion Pictures (USA/Los Angeles)
The museum houses over 13 million items, including costumes, props, and design drawings from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the institution familiar from the Academy Awards. The main exhibition, "The Story of Cinema," spans three floors and includes a model of the Alien's head and the shark that appeared in "Jaws."
In the Oscar Experience Corner, you can enjoy the simulated experience of having your name read out, pretending to be moved, and going up on stage to receive your Oscar statuette. You can also take home a video of the award ceremony as a souvenir!

The new building opens as a popular cultural facility
Art Gallery of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia)
The Sydney Modern Project, a 10-year project to expand the museum and landscape the surrounding area, is considered the most important cultural development in Sydney since the Sydney Opera House, and has attracted attention from both within Japan and overseas.
Among its diverse collection, the museum boasts one of the largest collections of works by Australian artists, and the gallery showcasing works by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is a must-see. One of the highlights is the repurposed exhibition space, a huge waste oil tank used during World War II.
