Since opening in 1929, MoMA has secured its place as a pioneer collector and exhibitor of modern art-from 19th-century Post-Impressionism to contemporary installations. The new, eight-story education building at MoMA opened in late 2006, the final phase of the museum’s expansion led by Yoshio Taniguchi. The building anchors itself to the eastern side of the sculpture garden. MoMA's two movie theaters present more than 30 screenings per week from the museum's vast film collection.
