The MoMA Goes to Paris

The MoMA Goes to Paris

On October 11, some 200 works from the Museum of Modern Art go on view in Paris, at the Fondation Louis Vuitton. According to MoMA director Glenn Lowry, the exhibition is a way for the New York museum to support a new institution—the FLV opened in 2014—while exposing MoMA’s collection to a larger audience.

The show’s title, Being Modern: MoMA in Paris, points to the ongoing conundrum of the museum’s mission: how to keep pace with shifting notions of modernity. . .
