Welcome to the neighborhood.

Living and working alongside one of the world’s most recognized modern and contemporary art institutions means being a part of a vibrant, dynamic, and ever-evolving neighborhood. Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, our neighborhood is a microcosm for New York City itself. MoMA takes great pride in belonging to this community and has created a rich and vigorous program to celebrate being a part of something special.

If you reside or work in the area (highlighted in blue on the map above) north of 53 Street, south of Central Park South, west of Fifth Avenue, and east of Seventh Avenue, please continue to check out this site to see what MoMA has to offer our neighborhood.
