Who owns moma

Then it was a major renovation in by Japanese architect Yoshio Taniguchi that made the space more capacious. But that's not why people kept coming. This latest renovation to New York's second most trafficked museum in , 7. To be sure, renovating MoMA is different from redesigning nearly any other museum.

It was once said by Taniguchi during the renovation that, were the museum to "raise a lot of money," he would provide good architecture.

The MoMA's renovation comes 15 years after its last one, which, in , came courtesy of Japanese architect Yoshio Taniguchi.

What Gilmartin is referencing is MoMA's westward expansion. Now, new galleries have been erected in the former American Folk Art Museum site. From there walking toward Manhattan's Sixth Avenue , visitors stroll into the base of 53W53 , an all-new skyscraper by starchitect Jean Nouvel. While the westward expansion yields additional room in total, , square feet more of gallery space , it also better opens the museum to the city that cocoons it.

Floor-to-ceiling windows allow ample natural light to flow through, while also allowing the public a peek into the building. But now, we feel the new design allows for the public to have immediate access to art from the street, as well as when they walk through the doors.

Ultimately, at MoMA, it's not the walls but the art on those walls that's most important. The significance of this can't be overstated, as the decision to include such a diverse field of artists is what has finally pushed MoMA into the 21st century. For those who scoff at the idea of enjoying the works of lesser-known artists, consider the fact that Van Gogh died in as a nobody in the eyes of the art world. And while Picasso enjoyed a near-full lifetime of success, he was a no-name until he was eventually discovered.

The museum is also implementing a new policy, and the effects should be profound. Every six to eight months, the museum will rotate a selection of art in its galleries. More important, perhaps, is the fact that more art will be on view to the public—art that would otherwise go relatively unseen. In the past century, and certainly since MoMA opened its doors in , modern art has morphed from an expression meant to move its viewer to contemplation, into a multi-billion-dollar enterprise controlled by a select few.

The consequences of this are significant. Imagine if the world's best books were stripped from all the libraries of the world, and hoarded by the wealthiest among us? We now make a range of porridge, oat drinks, bircher muesli and granola to be enjoyed at home or on-the-go and hope to continue oaty innovation in the years to come. Watch this space!

We're continuing to improve our sustainability. At MOMA, oats are the hero ingredient in everything we make, from our porridge to our oat drinks.

We all know oats are wholesome, tasty and healthy but they have great sustainability credentials too. Whenever possible we source our oats from local British farms to ensure the quality is high but the food miles are low. The exception to this is our Oat Drinks, which are made in the EU, but we continue to evaluate this to see if we can bring production closer to home.

To sum up in five words: No one gets left oat. We work hard to create delicious free-from products so that coeliacs, vegans, flexitarians and people with lactose intolerance can enjoy the great taste and health benefits of oats, but we also have products that contain dairy.

We provide great oaty choices and the rest is up to you. Where to buy. About Moma. Your Basket. Awesome oats. Oat Pioneers. People First. Proudly British.
