🎷 Discover how a uniquely modern American art form found a home at a uniquely modern American museum.
MoMA has presented live jazz performances for over 60 years: from the towering figures of the 1960s and early ’70s, to one magical summer in 1985, to the arrival of new generations in the 1990s and 2000s. Uncover this rich, surprising, history in our newest podcast.

🐾 From paws and claws to scales and feathers, creatures of all kinds have inspired artists and kept them company in the studio. The latest photography challenge was all about animals.

“It is incumbent upon me to resist.” — LaToya Ruby Frazier
Born in 1982 in the steel manufacturing town of Braddock, Pennsylvania, LaToya Ruby Frazier has used photography, text, moving images, and performance to revive and preserve forgotten stories of labor, gender, and race in the postindustrial era.
See “Monuments of Solidarity,” an exhibition of the artist-activist’s work, on view now at MoMA.
