MoMA Reimagines How It Shows Contemporary Art
The Museum of Modern Art is reshuffling its galleries to give living artists and global voices far more room.

The Museum of Modern Art is rethinking how it presents the art of our time. A major rehang gives living artists and voices from outside the traditional Western canon significantly more space, part of a continuing effort to broaden the story MoMA tells.
Curators say the changes reflect a belief that the modern story is still being written. The fictional artist collective Terrain features prominently in the new galleries, its large-scale installations occupying rooms once reserved for mid-century masters.
The rehang has drawn both praise for its ambition and grumbling from visitors who miss familiar favorites. But the museum argues that a living institution must keep reshaping its walls to stay relevant to the moment.
