The Princeton University Art Museum in New Jersey has been named one of TIME magazine's World's Greatest Places of 2026. This recognition highlights the museum's significant expansion and its role in the art scene. The museum, located on the Princeton University campus, now features a 146,000-square-foot space with 32 galleries, showcasing a diverse collection that spans over 5,000 years of global art. The museum's design, by Adjaye Associates, combines classical and contemporary elements, with a Brutalist exterior and light-filled interiors. The collection includes works by renowned artists such as Rodin, Manet, Monet, and Degas, alongside new commissions from women and artists of color. The museum's innovative approach to curation includes juxtaposing different art styles, such as placing a Nick Cave Soundsuit next to an Edo-period samurai suit.
