Put simply, MoMA PS1 displays some of the world’s best contemporary art. The museum strives to be a Mecca for emerging artists and genres, presenting more than 50 exhibitions a year.

Located in a former school building, the venue has an outdoor gallery, a two-story display room with high ceilings, and many creatively utilized nooks and crannies. Within MoMA PS1’s exhibition seasons, a minimum of eight spaces have been reserved for International and National Project artists.

Inside scoop: From June to September, MoMA PS1 presents Warm Up, a Saturday music series that introduces audiences to the best in experimental live music, sound, and DJs in its courtyard. Founded 17 years ago, the series has gained international fame.
