MOMA's permanent collection contains almost 200,000 works from around the world, spanning the last 150 years. The collection includes an ever-expanding range of visual expression, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, photography, architecture, design, film, and media and performance art.
More than 10,000 artists are represented in MOMA's collection. Numerous temporary exhibitions are displayed simultaneously, year-round.
After being closed for a few months, MOMA re-opened October 21st, 2019, with 47,000 square feet of new galleries and spaces for performance and events. Along with these physical changes, the collection will be shown in new ways.
We visited a few days after the musuem had reopened. Read our article about the "new" MOMA.
Please check the museum website for updated exhibition information. Scheduling may have been modified as a result of the temporary museum closure.
