这些计划或者已经根本性地改变了博物馆门面与展厅的设计，或者预期在不久的将来会这样做。 单单在纽约市，六个主要机构或者已经向空中和周围扩展，或者正准备这样做。大家一致行动的原因是复杂多样的，但其中的一个因素是普遍考虑的空间问题。 随着收藏品的增多，也随着博物馆的需要和功能的变化，空间已经变成了一项非常珍贵的商品。在我国，也许没有任何其他地方比费城艺术博物馆更符合这个事实。 这个博物馆几十年来一直需要额外的空间，十年前进行了最后一次重大的翻新。 由于空间紧缺，该艺术博物馆在考虑购买与受赠艺术品已越来越谨慎，有时甚至放弃增强艺术收藏的机会。由于博物馆的空间问题，将艺术品脱手或者说卖掉已经有了新的重要意义。 博物馆馆长们被迫巧妙轮换利用陈列馆的空间，轮流着把一些艺术杰作向公众展出，而把另一些送入存储室中。虽然对额外的陈列室和存储室空间需要很明显，但据费城艺术博物馆经理讲：博物馆还没有在未来十五年打破这个束缚的计划。</p>
