Museum of Modern Art

Manhattan contemporary gallery

The Museum of Modern Art is a major art museum in New York City, usually called MoMA.

Founded in 1929, it houses one of the world's most influential collections of modern and contemporary art, including painting, sculpture, film, and design.

The name sometimes refers to similar institutions in other cities.
