MoMA's makeover makes room for everybody
New York
THE final design for the Museum of Modern Art's (MoMA) US$400 million expansion project, which was set to be officially unveiled on Thursday, is striking and provocative less because of its look than its implicit message: MoMA isn't modern yet.
Under the new plans, the museum is moving away from discipline-specific galleries that feature established artists - many of them white men - and toward more chronological and thematic approaches that include multiple formats as well as more minority and female artists.
