About the Whitney Museum of American Art
The Whitney Museum of American Art, informally "The Whitney," is an art museum devoted to modern and contemporary American work. It is located in New York City's West Village and Meatpacking District areas, in Manhattan. Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, a sculptor, art patron and socialite, founded it in 1930, and it carries her name. The museum collects and preserves 20th- and 21st-century American art, and its permanent collection holds more than 25,000 works by more than 3,500 artists. Edward Hopper's art and archives are held here in greater quantity than anywhere else in the world.
Its home from 1966 to 2014 was a building from Hamilton P. Smith and Marcel Breuer at 945 Madison Avenue, on the Upper East Side. After closing in October 2014, the museum moved into a new building at 99 Gansevoort Street, designed by Renzo Piano, which opened on May 1, 2015. The site, where Gansevoort and Washington Streets meet, was previously owned by the city, and the building stands at the High Line park's southern entrance. Building work started in 2010 at a cost of $422 million.
The building has eight stories and 19,000 m2 (200,000 sq ft), including the largest column-free gallery spaces for art in the city, plus an education center, a theater, a conservation laboratory, a library and reading rooms. Two floors are given entirely to the permanent collection, and an outdoor staircase links observation decks on floors five to eight. Its four main elevators, conceived by Richard Artschwager, are the sole permanent artwork made for the site.

- Outdoor staircase and terraces
- A narrow outdoor staircase with thin railings climbs the east side, beside stepped terraces. Print friendly adapts thin railings like these to your print scale; Full detail keeps them, and a larger print keeps them readable.
- Angled roof panels and vents
- The roof carries angled panels and a row of small cylinders. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep these small roof shapes crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- The Whitney Museum of American Art is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Whitney Museum of American Art takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
