Are you travelling to New York next Monday? Congratulations, after 4 months of renovations, you will be able to enjoy the reopening of MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Just a few weeks away from its 90th birthday (it opened on 7 November 1929), the MoMa is reopening its doors, with 4,000 m2 more space and longer opening hours. A 30% more exhibition space where New Yorkers and foreigners alike will be able to enjoy some novelties such as two paintings by Picasso, a sculpture by Constantin Brancusi and a photograph by Germaine Krull. Artistic crossbreeding to surprise new visitors to the iconic museum. The number of works on display will increase from 1,500 to 2,000. Galleries visible from the street, a new shop on the ground floor, a studio for programming live art and a 'Creativity Lab' are some of the MoMa's new key features. But the MoMa's change goes beyond a spatial reform. When its doors open and the new spectators enter the luminous foyer, a different philosophy will be in the air. A philosophy in which there is no room for boundaries of styles, origins, genres and disciplines . A vision that allows new artistic dialogues to be established. Proof of this,Picasso's 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon' (1907) shares space with'American People Series #20: Die' (1967). A new, multicultural and less linear narrative. In short, a fresher narrative. The walls of the MoMa house works that are archetypal in the history of art and not visiting them if you go to New York could even be a crime. So make the MoMA one of New York's must-sees. What works can you see at the Museum of Modern Art in New York? In addition to the aforementioned 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon', you can't miss Van Gogh's Starry Night, Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Can, Magritte's The Lovers or Dalí's The Persistence of Memory . And these are just some of the great works of art that await you behind its doors. If you're packing your suitcase to fly to New York, you're in luck. Not only for the mere fact of visiting this spectacular city, but also because you'll be able to enjoy a completely renovated Moma, body and soul.
