Founded
in 1929 by Lillie P. Bliss, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, Mary Quinn Sullivan, and
four other founding Trustees, The Museum of Modern Art was the first museum
devoted to the modern era. Beginning with the innovative European art of the
1880s, the collection contains unparalleled holdings in every ensuing period of
visual culture up to the present day, including such distinctly modern forms as
film and industrial design in addition to more traditional mediums. Now
numbering some 150,000 objects, the collection offers an unparalleled overview
of modern and contemporary art.
There
are three restaurants within the museum at which you can enjoy lunch (on own)
