MoMA Through Time video traces the museum's history from 1928 to its latest expansion
A video titled MoMA Through Time, released alongside an interactive timeline, chronicles the Museum of Modern Art's evolution since its founding in 1928 by three visionary women: Lillie P. Bliss, Mrs. Cornelius J. Sullivan, and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller Jr. The museum has occupied multiple locations, undergone numerous expansions, and received major donations, amassing one of the world's most extensive collections of paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, films, and design objects. The video serves as a teaser for the opening of MoMA's latest expansion, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro / Gensler, which will increase exhibition space by 30% and add a new entrance atrium to manage long visitor queues.
