New York’s Museum of Modern Art (or just the “”MoMA””) is the mother of all modern art museums.
It was founded in 1929 by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, wife of John D Rockefeller, and two of her friends.
The main location is in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, on 53rd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
