Today, Monday June 3, small tour groups will finally get a look at the three-year, $23 million renovation that brought Donald Judd's former SoHo residence back to the exact condition he left it in. His original collection of artwork, including pieces from Frank Stella and John Chamberlain has been returned to its original placement in the house, as has furniture from Gerrit Rietveld and pieces Judd designed himself. 

Judd, who famously worked in the cosmically weird Marfa, TX, spent about 25 years in the five-floor house, which had a number of eccentric features. For instance, the kitchen has shelves only two inches tall to store silverware, and each floor is dedicated to a different activity, be it sleeping, eating, or working. 

The building at 101 Spring Street, which had its neo-Grec exterior restored and 1,300 cast-iron elements recast, is now to be known as the Judd Foundation.

Reservations, including half-price admission for students, are available from the Judd Foundation. Read more about the restoration and museum in the New York Times
