After an $82 million expansion, New York's New Museum will bring contemporary art back to the heart of Manhattan, showcasing modern works alongside classics by Dali and Marcel Duchamp after two years closed.

Re-opening its doors to the public Saturday, the 60,000-square-foot building expansion will be launched with an exhibition titled "New Humans: Memories of the Future", that probes "what it means to be 'human'," alongside several new commissions.
