There is no better place in the city (some might argue the United States) for urban and film-goers to see what’s happening in the modern creative scene than at the Museum of Modern Art.
Founded in 1929, MoMA’s collection includes examples of modern art from the late ninth century to the present day. Their collections represent a wide variety of visual expressions, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, films, drawings, illustrations, architecture and modern films such as design.
The West Shore is located at 11th on 53rd Street, between 5th and 6th in Manhattan. The museum opens on Friday at 4 to 5 p.m. Open till 8.00. Open daily from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm except Thanksgiving and Christmas. The E or M subways take a shortcut to Fifth Avenue/53rd Street or B, D, F, or M, 47-50 Streets/Rockefeller Center. .
A brief history of the museum
Opened in 1929, the MoMA is the world’s first museum to focus on modern art. Their permanent collection displays over 135,000 works of art from every medium known to man. In addition, MoMA is changing a series of temporary exhibitions.
The museum’s collection can be classified into six categories: architecture and design, art, film and media, painting and sculpture, photography, prints and library books.
It would be difficult to see the entire collection in one museum. But daily galaxy talks and self-guided Windows tours can enhance your trip. Spending some time on the MoMA website can also help you prepare for your visit and identify special pieces you’d like to see.
An extensive renovation and expansion project began in 2017 and is expected to be completed in 2019. The completed project is expected to increase the sixth floor exhibition space of its Manhattan location by 150%.
Family relations and special events
The Museum of Modern Art offers a variety of programs geared toward children and families. You can get the family guide at any information booth. The audio tour offers a specific program to connect with the artists through interactive conversation and music.
MoMA is an amazing museum to come with. An audio tour with amazing and colorful tour components, film artists come to the museum on a treasure hunt. The application of the museum may be familiar to your child or may be of particular interest or fascination.
In addition, a series of special family and adult-only programs are hosted throughout the year. The popular “Tours for Fours: Art in Motion, Motion in the Motion” tour or the family art workshops held every month. A number of seasonal events can be found, such as the Spring Wing House and the annual “Warm (of the Year)” events.
