Welcome to The Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Founded in 1929, MoMA was the first art museum devoted to the modern era. Over its 75-year history, the Museum has built a collection that includes some 150,000 objects; 22,000 films; and, in its library and research archives, over 300,000 books and periodicals. The collection includes notable paintings such as Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night and Pablo Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, as well as contemporary works by artists like Cindy Sherman, Gerhard Richter, and Matthew Barney. MoMA's temporary exhibition schedule is enriched by rotating installations drawn from each of the seven collecting areas: Architecture and Design, Drawings, Film, Media, Painting and Sculpture, Photography, and Prints and Illustrated Books.
