Tickets MOMA
The MoMA was inaugurated in 1929 by an idea of a group of New York women known as “The Ladies”.
They were Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, Lillie P. Bliss and Mary Quinn Sullivan, who made it their head to create a museum that was the reference point for American artists first and then the world.
They probably did not imagine that their project could turn into one of the most important museums in the world.
New York’s MoMA was initially located on the twelfth floor of Manhattan’s Heckscher Building, but today it is located on 53rd Street and it was President Roosevelt who inaugurated it in 1939.

THE MOMA PS1
The MoMA PS1 is the detached headquarters of the MoMA and is located in Queens.
The name PS1 derives from the fact that originally there was a school (“PS1” stands for “Public School One”) which, after a period of abandonment, the MoMA used to make it a center of art oriented to the most innovative and avant-garde works.
Every summer at the MoMA PS1 the musical event called Warm Up is organized, a kind of famous multisensory party that attracts miles of visitors.
In addition, every year it organizes the Young Architect Program, reserved for young architects who presenting their proposals in the courtyard of the MoMA PS1 and the winner will carry out their project as a setting for the Warm Up in the following summer.
THE RENEWAL OF THE NEW YORK MOMA
In the fall of 2019, after four months of closure, the New York MoMA reopened with a new layout and new spaces.
The exhibition area has been expanded by almost 3700 square meters, allowing MoMA to show 2,400 works simultaneously (about 1,500 more than before).
The renewal of the spaces was necessary due to the large influx of visitors who flock to the MoMA every day and made it difficult to locate and view the works.
Indeed, the greatest innovation did not concern the spaces but the setting.
MoMA has created a path in which works from different eras and places are located side by side, creating the possibility of making comparisons and connections previously unthinkable.
