The new MoMA was opened to the public on October 21 of the year 2019. Advisors of the construction spoke of many reasons for expansion, yet the outstanding factor that stands out was for the purpose of presenting more diversity throughout as a whole.
" Diversity is the understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. "
With this inspiring factor in mind the designing of a series for the MoMA began. This series represented in a set of posters was created to show off the unity of the museum and its new expansion through showing art work form many different races, genders, and classes, representing MoMA's awareness.
" How can the art on a museum’s walls better reflect the community it serves? A rethinking among U.S. museums suggests a shift is taking place. "
The MoMA 2.0 version will be, according to chief curator of painting and sculpture Ann Temkin, “not a single narrative of one history” but more “a collection of short stories rather than one continuous novel.”Today, more than ever, we need museums to reflect and mobilize the idea of our identity as a people, to bring us together and remind us of what’s unique about us and what we have in common.”
