| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | Organization's Misson Continued In pursuit of this goal, the Museum has collected over 200,000 works of art, including works of paintings, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, photography, film, media, performance, architecture, and industrial and graphic design. The Museum also operates a publishing program, conducts an extensive educational program, and maintains a major library and archives. its exhibitions are circulated nationally and internationally. The Museum's primary sources of support are admissions fees and membership dues, grants from individuals, foundations, and corporations, endowment income and revenue from retail sales of museum related products. The Museum is managed by a board of trustees, consisting of 52 voting members. A director and an administrative and curatorial staff oversee its operations and implement policy set by the Board. Each year the Museum acquires through donation or purchase, in each of its curatorial departments, numerous works for its collection. Acknowledged worldwide for its collection of 20th and 21st century art, the Museum has been instrumental in introducing the art of this period into the mainstream of modern life. The range of the Museum's program of exhibitions extends from retrospective studies of the work of major modern and contemporary artists to examinations of the cultural and aesthetic contexts of major historical moments, and also supports the work of less well known living artists through continuing exhibitions to review the latest trends in contemporary art. The Museum's programs are organized through six curatorial (drawings & prints, paintings & sculptures, architecture & design, film, photographs, media & performance) and a number of curatorial support departments. The curatorial support departments include collection management, collection and exhibition information, conservation, exhibition administration, exhibition design and production, film operations and preservation, imaging, digital asset management, outgoing loans, provenance, and registrar. In addition, the quality and depth of the Museum's collection enable the Museum to maintain an extensive loan program, which serves institutions both in the united states and abroad. Each year the Museum lends numerous works beyond those exhibited in its own galleries. The Museum was founded in 1929 as an educational institution and maintains a vast breadth of educational programming, which increased in the years after the opening of the renovated and expanded main facility in 2004. In FY 2020, during the approximately five month period the Museum was open following the completion of the New MoMA Project and prior to closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic, through diverse education programs approximately 1.3 million onsite visitors to MoMA had access to or participated in interpretative programs to support their learning in the galleries including labels, audio content (offered in nine languages), gallery tours, interactive spaces, workshops, visual description tours for the blind and partially sighted, and resources for other individuals with special needs. Since the start of the pandemic the Museum has made significant enhancements to facilitate digital access for onsite visitors to use their own devices in the Museum. The education center provides a central location for a wide array of educational resources including three classrooms, a theater, a publicly accessible library, an archive reading room, and three curatorial study centers, and MoMA's online self guided courses. While the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic has limited public access to these spaces, programming teams have pivoted to providing virtual programming, adding to the Museum's existing digital education offerings. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | Since the start of the pandemic the Museum has made significant enhancements to facilitate digital access for onsite visitors to use their own devices in the Museum. After over three years of construction, including a planned four-month temporary closure of the Museum to the public in order to complete construction and art re-installation, an expanded new MoMA opened on October 21, 2019, with a reimagined presentation of modern and contemporary art, catalyzed by a 30% increase in overall gallery space and an improved quality of visitor experience through reconceived entrances, circulation, and amenities, concurrent with an increase in public space, including an expanded below-grade store and a new restaurant with terrace on the sixth floor. The expansion, developed by MoMA with architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, in collaboration with Gensler, added more than 40,000 square feet of gallery spaces and enables the Museum to exhibit significantly more art in new and interdisciplinary ways. |
| FORM 990, PART IV, LINE 30 | Gifts of artwork are considered by individual item. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The Museum's form 990 is prepared by Grant Thornton LLP in coordination with the Museum's controller's office with input from many museum departments. It is then reviewed by Museum senior staff including the Director, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and the General Counsel. The 990 is then presented to the Museum's Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees for review and approval. A copy of the 990 is provided to each member for the Board of Trustees electronically or in printed copy prior to filing the return. The 990 is available to the public through the Museum's website www.moma.org. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | On an annual basis, the Museum distributes its code of conduct to all trustees and designated employees and requires that conflict of interest questionnaires be completed and returned for initial review by the office of the General Counsel and the Director of Human Resources respectively. Amongst other things, the conflict of interest questionnaire requires the responder: confirm that he or she has read and understands the code of conduct, agree to abide by it, identify whether he or she or a family member has any relationship with the Museum that may represent a conflict of interest as defined by the code and report any knowledge of a transaction which should be reported under the code, etc. When potential employee conflicts of interest are reported or identified, when necessary, an investigation is conducted to determine the facts and circumstances and recommendation of action, if warranted. Such action may include, but is not limited to, prohibiting the individual from participating in deliberations and decisions regarding the transaction in question, or taking disciplinary action, which in appropriate circumstances may include suspension or termination. The employee's supervisor is notified of an employee with identified conflicts and the action to be taken, if any. When potential trustee conflicts of interest are reported or identified, the general counsel's office makes a report to a committee of the board of trustees with a recommendation for action, if warranted, including but not limited to disclose to the board of trustees, prohibiting the trustee from participating in and/or voting on the transaction in question, resignation from the board of trustees, etc. The code of conduct further provides that the committee make a recommendation to the Chairman of the Board for decision by the Board. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The process for determining the compensation for the Museum director and certain key employees includes reviews and approval by the board of trustees' compensation subcommittee of the executive committee (the "committee") a committee of the governing body consisting of independent trustees, and not including the director or other staff members. In making its determination, the committee obtains and reviews comparability data with respect to compensation levels paid for comparable job positions obtained through the assistance of an expert compensation consultant which, in appropriate instances, includes survey data regarding compensation levels paid by similarly situated organizations for comparable employment positions, form 990 data from other leading Museums and cultural and education institutions, as well as for profit institutions which may be interested in recruiting the Museum staff. The determination, deliberation and decisions made by the committee are contemporaneously substantiated and documented in minutes of the meeting which include the committee members present and participation, the compensation terms approved, the data relied upon and how it was obtained. The committee periodically meets and reviews, the last meeting was held on December 1, 2020. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | The Museum's governing documents are available for review. Conflict of interest policy, code of conduct policy, prior years audited financial statements and prior years 990 are available to the public through the Museum's website https://www.moma.org/about/who-we-are/documents-policies. |
| Form 990, Part VII | The hours disclosed for officers, key employees and highly compensated individuals is 40 hours which represents a full-time designated employee. For those listed on Part VII the hours worked, in reality, are significantly more than the standard full-time employee norm. |
| Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 | Other Changes in Net Assets The other changes in net assets are related to Defined Benefit Plan changes other than net periodic benefit costs partially offset by organizations that file a separate return. -$25,232,223 |
