20th century art
Post-impressionism through pop
20th century art encompasses the visual arts produced roughly between 1900 and 2000, a period of radical experimentation that shattered classical traditions.
Movements proliferated—Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism—each redefining what art could be.
The century saw art expand beyond painting and sculpture into performance, installation, and conceptual work where the idea mattered more than the object.
The museum's 20th century art collection spans everything from Picasso to Warhol.
