The Museum of the Moving Image, right, in Astoria, Queens, will close on March 23 for a $65 million reconstruction that will double its size. âThe back wall of the building has to be demolished, and in order to do that, thereâs a huge amount of vibration and noise,â Rochelle Slovin, the director of the museum, told Reuters. âIt would not be a good idea to have the public in the building at that time.â When the work is completed, the first floor of the museum will be transformed, and the structure will have a new three-story addition. The building will house a 262-seat theater, a 71-seat screening room, an education center, expanded gallery space and a courtyard. Groundbreaking for construction is scheduled for Feb. 27, with reopening expected in late 2009. In the meantime no full-time employees are to be laid off, Ms. Slovin said, and museum members will continue to have access to screenings and programs in all five boroughs.
