MoMA2000 
 October 7, 1999 - February 13, 2001

          In October 1999, The Museum of Modern Art launched a 17-month-long series of exhibitions that presents well-known and less-familiar art works in unusual juxtapositions and new contexts. An exploration both of the Museum's unparalleled collection and of new ways of displaying it, MoMA2000 provides a provocative look at some of this century's most compelling and powerful art. Conceived as a preliminary laboratory for the reinstallation of the Museum's collection after the completion of our new building project, it offers fresh interpretations of the premises, meanings, and diversity of modern art.
          

MoMA2000 presents three major exhibition cycles that focus on distinct historical periods: 1880 to 1920, 1920 to 1960, and 1960 to the present. Each historical cycle will be interspersed with works from other periods, creating a dialogue between various historical moments. Installed throughout the entire Museum, works in all mediums are presented in innovative, multidisciplinary ways.
