ICYMI: The Swiss Institute closes before opening its new Bowery home

We fielded a few reader queries about the Swiss Institute in the past 10 days.

As previously reported, the gallery space and the contemporary art nonprofit have closed on the SE corner of Second Avenue and St. Mark's Place...
... ahead of a move to its first permanent home — 250 Bowery near Stanton Street... expected to debut in the spring. 

The last day here for the Swiss Institute, which debuted at 38 St. Mark's Place in 2018, was on July 5.

They will be missed, but we do look forward to their new space. 

No word on what might take over this prime EV corner.

    Was a lovely and memorable oasis for art, air conditioning, rooftop views and that rarest of rarities, public restrooms. Thank you, and best of luck in the new home.
