The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) plays a major role in developing and collecting modern art, and is often identified as one of the largest and most influential museums in the world. Considered by many to have the best collection of modern Western masterpieces, MoMA’s holdings include more than 150,000 individual pieces including works of architecture and design, drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, prints, illustrated books, film, and electronic media. Van Gogh’s Starry Night, Matisse’s The Dance, Dalí’s The Persistence of Memory, and Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon are just a few of the priceless works held within MoMA.
