The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is one of the premier fine arts museums in the world. It has been a beacon of modernist art and design since its founding in 1929, and houses a vast collection of works by some of the most influential artists in history. But how many MoMA locations are there, exactly?

The museum has two main sites: its flagship location in Midtown Manhattan and its P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center located in Queens, New York City. Together, these two venues contain over 200,000 square feet of gallery space and house over 200,000 works from the collection.

In addition to these two major locations, MoMA also has a number of other locations around the world including: The Museum of Modern Art at Fort Worth in Texas; MoMA San Francisco; The Museum of Modern Art Tokyo; The Museum of Modern Art Shanghai; and MoMA São Paulo.

MoMA also maintains several satellite galleries around the United States including The Oberlin College Museum of Art in Ohio; The Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis; The Henry Art Gallery at University of Washington in Seattle; and The Mary & Leigh Block Museum at Northwestern University outside Chicago.

Finally, MoMA also hosts several traveling exhibitions throughout the year which visit galleries and museums around the world. In total, there are over thirty-five different venues that display pieces from the museum’s vast collection.
