MoMA is open every day from 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and until 8:30 PM on Fridays. It closes only on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

The galleries start closing about 15 minutes before the museum does, so plan to wrap up a little early.

About the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)

MoMA was set up in 1929 to collect and show the art of its own time. Nearly a century later, the collection holds almost 200,000 works covering the last 150 years, from painting and sculpture to photography, architecture, design, film and performance.

The building on West 53rd Street reopened in October 2019 after an expansion by Diller Scofidio + Renfro with Gensler. The work added more than 40,000 square feet of gallery space and gave the museum room to hang different mediums side by side.

Founded: 1929
