About this Organization
Museum of Modern ArtThe Museum of Modern Art was described by its first director as "a torpedo moving through time." Since opening in 1929, MoMA has secured its place as a pioneer collector and exhibitor of modern art-from 19th-century Post-Impressionism to contemporary installations. MoMA's collection includes painting, sculpture, drawings, prints, photography, film, architecture and design.
