Art lovers, children and families will discover a world of modern Western masterpieces, artistic individuality and one-of-a-kind exhibitions when they tour New York City's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). The museum began in the 1920s with only eight prints and one drawing, and has expanded over the last 80 years to include more than 150,000 contemporary paintings, sculptures, sketches, models and photographs.
The NY facility houses a wide variety of works by influential modern artists like Henri Matisse, Henri Rousseau, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne, Jackson Pollock, Georgia O'Keefe and Francis Bacon, and its displays include Campbell's Soup Cans by Andy Warhol, The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali and Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth. Photography lovers will enjoy the world-renowned photography and film collection, which includes prints from iconic Hollywood productions like Citizen Kane and Vertigo.
