About
Archtober Building of the Day: an architect-led tour of the Nolen Study Room, Thomas J. Watson Library, Metropolitan Museum of Art, led by Young & Ayata.
The Met's research library is a room almost no visitor ever sees, and the architects who redesigned it are the ones walking you through. Archtober tours are the closest thing October has to Open House New York — same premise, spread across a month.
What to expect
An architect-led walkthrough of the Nolen Study Room, Thomas J. Watson Library, Metropolitan Museum of Art with Young & Ayata, part of Archtober's near-daily Building of the Day series.
