Location: NYC, NY
Discipline: UX / Product Design
Experience: TBD
Compensation: $97,270
Department of Architecture and Design:
The world’s first curatorial department devoted to architecture and design was established in 1932 at The Museum of Modern Art. From its inception, the collection has been built on the recognition that architecture and design are allied and interdependent, so that synthesis has been a founding premise of the collection. The architecture collection encompasses a range of objects, including architectural drawings, models, and architectural fragments, as well as digital renderings, and architectural photographs. Both the Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright Archives are also included in its holdings. Overall, the diverse collection surveys major figures, movements, and objects from the late 19th century to the present. Having traditionally been focused on Western and Northern Europe, and to some degree Latin America, the department in recent years has emphasized a more global perspective as it builds a vibrant collection for the Museum in the 21st century.
