Work is about to get underway on the new Italian American Museum in Little Italy, and with that the museum has unveiled the first set of renderings for the revamped space, which will be six times larger than the existing space at the corner of Grand and Mulberry Streets.
The museum will be part of a 12-unit apartment building that’s being developed by the Oved Group and Nexus Building Development Group. The developers purchased the museum’s home at 185-189 Grand Street in February last year for just under $15 million.
