Museum for African Art sets up an interim home on this building's third floor
In September 2002 the Museum for African Art, founded in 1984 as the Center for African Art, left its SoHo galleries at 593 Broadway for the third floor of 36-01 43rd Avenue in Long Island City.

Elsie McCabe, who had taken over in 1997, led the institution at the time.
