great work of art from the late 19th century to the 21st century are
housed in the Museum of Modern Art. The collection includes
paintings by so famous artists as Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso and
Matisse. There are no permanent displays in the Whitney so
exhibitions change all the time. Every two year, the Whitney holds a
special exhibition of new art by living artists.
