If you’re planning a visit to MoMA this week, be sure to see Gustav Klimt’s stunning portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, which is now on view in our fifth-floor Painting and Sculpture Galleries as a special long-term loan from a private collection. It’s breathtaking! Here are some other programming highlights:
