The MoMa’s slogan is: “At The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1, we celebrate creativity, openness, tolerance, and generosity. We aim to be inclusive places—both onsite and online—where diverse cultural, artistic, social, and political positions are welcome. We’re committed to sharing the most thought-provoking modern and contemporary art”.

The idea was born in 1929, and  in the next 10 years the Museum moved three times into progressively larger temporary quarters, and in 1939 finally opened the doors of the building it still occupies in midtown Manhattan. Today, MoMa houses a lot of departments including architecture and design, drawings and prints, film, media and performance, painting and sculpture, and photography.

In addition to gallery talks, lectures, and symposia, the Museum offers special activities for parents, teachers, families, students, preschoolers, bilingual visitors, and people with special needs.

Today, The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 welcome millions of visitors every year. A still larger public is served by MoMA’s national and international programs of circulating exhibitions, loan programs, circulating film and video library, publications, Library and Archives holdings, websites, educational activities, special events, and retail sales.

It was designed by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright and the Museum was opened on 21 March, 1959. In 2008 the building was modified for its 50th anniversary. Until the new building was finished, Guggenheim’s collection was located on 54th Street under the name of the Museum of Non-Objective Painting. Three years after the death of Solomon R. Guggenheim in 1949, the Museum was renamed after its founder.

The museum displays mostly modern art, ranging from Impressionism to contemporary art and has both permanent collection and temporary exhibitions, there are also lectures by artistics and critics, performances and film screenings. 

The Museum’s collection has increased over the years and includes work by artists such as Marc Chagall, Vasily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso, Edouard Manet or Vincent van Gogh. Due to its limited space and the exchange of artwork between the other Guggenheim museums, the exhibition changes several times a year.

The immense structure, which is characterized by the wonderful glass vault that rises towards the sky, was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava who with Oculus wanted to depict a white dove freed from the hands of a child.

Symbolically, the architectural structure represents the revival of the city of New York, and in particular of Manhattan, after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001.

Oculus, inaugurated on March 3, 2016, from a transport point of view connects 11 subway lines, Path trains and the Hudson Ferry Terminal, but it is also the main access point to reach the World Trade Center, the 9/11 Memorial and Brookfield Place.

The sunlight, which filters from outside the structure through the glass panels, gives life to a play of lights that guarantees excellent lighting. Internally, the large central room is characterized by the bright Italian white marble floor, which is a fascinating sight for visitors who access the structure.

The main function of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub is to represent the main transport hub of Lower Manhattan with all the other districts of the city of New York and beyond.

But one of the key points of Oculus is also the Westfield World Trade Center, a shopping center that is spread over several floors on the sides of the structure, totally managed by Westfield Corporation.

The new shopping center replaces the famous The Mall, which was located at the World Trade Center and which was destroyed during the attacks.

The elevated platform was abandoned in 1980 and 23 years later it began to think about how to give it a new use. The project was completed in 2014.
High Line Elevated Park is more than 2 km long and runs from Gansevoort Street to Route 34 in the west of New York City. The park is divided into three sections and you can enter it from various accesses.
Throughout the route the High Line park is full of benches to sit or even lie down, being a very used place to sunbathe in the summer. The park offers several activities: Pilates classes, guided tours and included astronomy lessons are just some of the activities that are regularly carried out on the High Line, free of charge and managed by volunteers.

Opened to the public in February 1913, Grand Central Terminal is a story of great engineering, survival, and rebirth. In 1978, architect Philip Johnson and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis campaigned to secure landmark status for the Terminal, ensuring the building would serve New Yorkers for generations to come.

Grand Central Terminal is one of the country’s great architectural achievements and New York City’s unofficial meeting place with thousands of people choosing to “meet me at the clock” – rendezvousing with friends and loved ones each day at the opal-faced Main Concourse Information Booth Clock.

Hailed as a temple to the everyday commuter, this cathedral-like building was constructed to honor you, its visitors.
