See Dozens of Photos From MoMA’s New Galleries That Show How the Museum Is Rebooting the History of Modern Art
The Museum of Modern Art is set to reopen after its big
expansive and restoration—and when it does, it’s crown jewels, the
permanent collection will be reimagined. Old hits are still there,
but new discoveries are also worked in. Film and architecture are
integrated into the galleries. And the curation, as the New
York Times reported, seeks to make room for “detours,
anachronisms and surprise encounters.”
As the public gets ready for the new MoMA, here are photos that
give a sense of how its new art history fits together.
