MoMA at 80

On this date in 1929, New York City’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) opened its doors. With an eighty year history of showcasing contemporary works of art and educating people of all ages about the vivacity and sophistication of the art of our time, it is no surprise that MoMA excels at using modern technological features, such as audio and video, to enhance the museum experience for its visitors. If you love modern art you will love the extensive audio program offered at the MoMA Audio webpage. The multitude of audio programs available on-line and on-site not only offers visitors with visual disabilities access to the museum’s collections, but they also enhance the experience for all. There are special programs for all ages and commentaries in multiple languages. MoMA audio programs feature narrations by various voice talent as well as interviews with curators and artists. The programs are also offered in multiple platforms: WiFi, mp3, podcast, and free portable players. Enjoy this example of a MoMA audio program enhancing the experience of viewing The Japanese Footbridge (c. 1920-22) by Claude Monet (audio courtesy of Acoustiguide). Plan your next virtual and actual MoMA visit through the exploration of their multimedia offerings. What will modern art be like in 80 years and perhaps more importantantly, how will we experience it?
