The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Hawkins represented The Metropolitan Museum of Art in connection with its successful $250 million taxable bond public offering. We assisted the Museum in the preparation of the necessary disclosure documents, drafted the necessary financing documents and rendered our opinion as to the validity of the bonds. The expedited transaction was completed in approximately two months. The proceeds of the bonds were used by the Museum to finance the renovation of the Museum’s flagship facility on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, the largest art museum in the United States.
