Museum of Modern Art

The Museum of Modern Art is an iconic institution in modern art, whose influence reaches far beyond New York.

The museum has played a significant role in the development and collection of modernist art since its inception nearly 100 years ago. It’s known as one of the most influential museums for such work, exerting a major influence on other institutions throughout history via presentations at MoMA that were important to numerous artists’ careers (and even their lives) today – like Jackson Pollock who was characterized by painter Willem de Kooning when he said: “I am very excited about what you are doing with this painting.”

The Museum of Modern Art is an American art museum located in Midtown Manhattan in New York City, on 53rd Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is often identified as “the most influential museum of modern art in the world.”
