See some paintings from the MoMA.
The museum's collection exhibits some of the most famous works in history. One of the MoMA's characteristics is its great emphasis on American art, as at the time the museum was opened, such paintings represented the total avant-garde and opposition against classical art.
This museum is characterized by not only displaying paintings but also exhibitions of different disciplines: graphic design, architecture, and photography. It also has a well-known restaurant, "The Modern", which specializes in contemporary cuisine and has two Michelin stars.
Some of its biggest attractions are: the sculpture garden and the cinema room. This is the first and only museum so far to consider video games as art, among them, games like Pac-man and Tetris.
