The East Building was designed by renowned architect I.M. Pei, who is also known for designing the glass pyramid at the Louvre in Paris.
The East Building is home to the Gallery's modern and contemporary art collections, featuring works by artists like Picasso, Pollock, and Warhol.
The building is known for its triangular shape, which was inspired by the irregular trapezoidal plot of land on which it stands.
The East Building is connected to the West Building by an underground concourse that features a moving walkway and a light installation by artist Leo Villareal.
In 2016, the East Building reopened after a major renovation that included the addition of two new tower galleries and a rooftop terrace.
Adjacent to the East Building is the Sculpture Garden, which includes works by artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Alexander Calder.
