The Bronx Museum of the Arts is located within the Concourse section of the Bronx at 1040 Grand Concourse at the intersection of East 165 Street. The Bronx Museum began in 1971 as an effort to inject a first-class cultural institution into a neighborhood in need of one. The museum is a crucial part of the social history of the Bronx. In many ways the museum silently led the Bronx into its revival, namely in providing institutional stability amidst the poverty and violence that characterized the borough's 1960s and 70s.

In the same vein, the Bronx Museum has developed a reputation for being a pioneer institution. The late 1980s, for instance, saw the Bronx Museum become a computer headquarters ; 2006 saw the BXMA develop an award-winning, state-of-the-art exhibition space. The "accordion" design is both a stunning and a welcoming site on the Grand Concourse, an architectural feat to which other geographically-relevant institutions look as a precedent.

Many of the apartment buildings along the Grand Concourse were built in the 1920s and 1930s. Concourse was once a predominantly Jewish neighborhood until about the 1960s and 1970s. Poverty skyrocketed during this period and as a result crime and other social problems plagued the area. Unlike most of the South Bronx, most of the housing stock along the Grand Concourse was not torn down by the city. In recent years there has been an uptick in the amount of units that have transitioned from being owned by coop sponsors to being owned by the tenants of the coop.
