MoMA

MoMA has long been regarded as having one of the finest collections of modern art in the world. It was founded in 1929 as a place for ‘art in our time’, ergo, a place for contemporary artists to exhibit their avant-garde compositions. Honouring this legacy, MoMA curates shows that position modern works (made before 1975) alongside more contemporary pieces. Make sure to stroll through its sculpture garden, and its restaurants and cafes are also worthy of a visit. Exhibitions span architecture, photography, conceptual art, film and almost all mediums, and rotate with frequency. In the early 1970s, a radical art space called PS1 emerged in Long Island City, Queens. MoMA took PS1 under its tutelage, and it remains one of the city’s finest conceptual art exhibition spaces (and an easy seven-minute train ride from MoMA’s midtown location).\nmoma.org
