 New York - MoMA.org
The Museum of Modern Art seeks to create
a dialogue between the established and the experimental, the past
and the present, in an environment that is responsive to the issues
of modern and contemporary art, while being accessible to a public
that ranges from scholars to young children.
The ultimate purpose
of the Museum declared at its founding was to acquire the best modern
works of art. While quality remains the primary criterion, the Museum
acknowledges and pursues a broader educational purpose: to build
a collection which is more than an assemblage of masterworks, which
provides a uniquely comprehensive survey of the unfolding modern
movement in all visual media.
Founded in 1929 as an educational institution,
The Museum of Modern Art is dedicated to being the foremost museum
of modern art in the world.
Through the leadership of its trustees and staff,
The Museum of Modern Art manifests this commitment by establishing,
preserving, and documenting a permanent collection of the highest
order that reflects the vitality, complexity, and unfolding patterns
of modern and contemporary art; by presenting exhibitions and educational
programs of unparalleled significance; by sustaining a library,
archives, and conservation laboratory that are recognized as international
centers of research; and by supporting scholarship and publications
of preeminent intellectual merit.
Central to The Museum of Modern Art's mission
is the encouragement of an ever deeper understanding and enjoyment
of modern and contemporary art by the diverse local, national, and
international audiences that it serves.
