[title]The incubator for 20th century art, the Museum of Modern Art (founded in 1929) has shepherded cutting-edge movements such as Cubism, Futurism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art and Minimalism into the mainstream. MoMA's collection of Modern painting, sculpture and architecture is arguably the most complete of its kind anywhere in the world, and it continues to grow with the addition of artworks by contemporary artists—many of whom have been fostered at MoMA's Long Island City satellite, MoMA PS1. In 2019, the midtown Modern underwent a significant expansion, which included a major reshuffling of its collection. You can find out about which shows are on view with our list of the best current and upcoming exhibits at MoMA and MoMA PS1.
