Introduction

Barr conceives the museum of modern art as a laboratory. He was able to develop not only the museum of modern art but canon of modernism that aligned with the broad, general public.

Discussion

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is a museum of modern art and contemporary inaugurated. The institution maintains one of the most important collections of modern and contemporary art in the world. MoMA's collection is rich in modern and contemporary art productions, in fields as diverse as painting, sculpture, drawing, but photography, design, video and film. We must also rely on the rich documentary record, whether the archives of MoMA's exhibitions and activities or individual libraries (Bolter, 2000, 1999).
