Modern Women: A Partial History #WHM23 #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInSTEM

A while back, MOMA celebrated the women who helped the museum come to fruition and helped stay one of the world’s most visited museums. We take a look back.

The Museum of Modern Art owes a large share of its success to women. The Museum was the idea and creation of three women, and from those founders of 1929 to the associate director and president of the Museum today, women have been instrumental in the development of the institution’s mission, program, and collection. This essay highlights a few of the innumerable contributions they have made to the Museum over its more than eighty-year history—as curators, administrators, scholars, artists, patrons, and activists.
