National Museum Of Contemporary: Art and Architecture : Together Again in New Museum of Contemporary Art
Those with long memories may recall the days when New York modern art institutions were not only in tune with contemporary culture but also determined to drive it forward.
At the New Museum of Contemporary Art, that spirit is back in force.
In late November, the museum broke ground on its new home on a decrepit strip of the Bowery on the Lower East Side.
The Museum of Modern Art(MOMA), perhaps the world's most comprehensive collection of modern art, was founded (1929) by prominent New York art collectors for the purpose of acquiring and exhibiting the best modern works of art.
The National museum of Contemporary Gallery in London ranks among the greatest galleries in the world and contains works representing the major periods of European painting. The gallery was founded (1824) with paintings from the J.J. Anaerstein Collection.
Bavarian king Maximilian I.The gallery was designed to house the ped-imental sculpture from the temple of Aphaia at Aegina, Greece (c. 490 BC).
The Tate Gallery in London, originally known as the National museum of Contemporary Gallery of British Art, was opened in Jul. 1897. Originally conceived by Sir Henry Tate (1819-99) as a showplace for contemporary British art, the Tate gradually evolved into a more broadly based art gallery and museum.
