The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has appointed Boston architect Nadaaa to the $40m reconfiguring of a suite of its galleries.

The practice, led by principal designer Nader Tehrani, will work with Moody Nolan, the US’s largest African-American-owned and -managed practice, as architect of record on the 15,000sq ft project.

The pair will undertake the complete renovation of the Met’s galleries for Ancient Near Eastern and Cypriot Art which currently occupy 11 rooms on the second floor.
