Rent a Charter Bus to the MoMA in NYC

Visit the Museum of Modern Art 

MoMA was established back in 1929 by a group known as “The Daring Ladies.” This operation was spearheaded by Abby Rockefeller, an avid collector of Modern and Folk Art. She joined forces with two other friends who were also interested in the various facets of the Modernist movement and together they decided to house their personal art collections under one roof. At the time, this was the only museum in America that was devoted exclusively to contemporary art and the first to showcase European Modernism. From a single modest quarter containing six galleries, MoMA flourished to an enormous 175,000 square-feet space housed on six floors, as of 2019.

Every year, the average number of visitors attending this renowned gallery is around 2.5 million. Since it is a place that holds dear memories for the earlier generations, while also being a beacon of knowledge for the youth, it is brimming to capacity every single day of the week. With several discounts being offered for guided group tours, booking group transportation with National Charter Bus is the way to go. A private charter bus allows you to travel together with your crowd - whether it’s for a corporate event, college tour, or family reunion all while avoiding the hassle of parking and getting lost amidst the throng of museum-goers. At the same time, traveling in an organized group setting also allows faster access to the hottest museum exhibitions, film series, and performance programs.

For before- and after-hours tours, corporate clients are the most popular audience. Book a large 55-passenger charter bus  to comfortably seat every VIP. Style and elegance are important factors of the bus, from the sleek metallic exterior to the climate-controlled interior. With the clear PA system, your corporate groups will be well-informed throughout the trip. For smaller groups, such as Fine Art majors on a class trip, the 18-passenger minibus is the perfect option. The free onboard WiFi will ensure that each student can study on the bus or research their favorite artworks before arriving at the museum. For any groups in-between, the 25-passenger bus rental is the ideal model. Witness a comprehensive collection of art at the MoMA with National Charter Bus.

The Freedom of Artistic Expression

Mission:

The MoMA plays an important role in developing and extending their outreach of Modernist Art. It is regarded as one of the largest and most influential museums in the world for this particular movement. It currently has an evolving collection of around 200,000 works of Modern and contemporary art with over 80,000 works currently available on their website. This includes categories such as drawings, paintings, sculptures, photography, prints, architecture, design, books, films, electronic media and more. A few distinguished artists whose creations are often displayed include Salvador Dalí, Paul Gauguin, Roy Lichtenstein, and Frida Kahlo.

The MoMA Library includes approximately 300,000 books, over 1000 periodical titles, exhibition catalogs and over 40,000 files of ephemera on artists, while the media collection consists of 22,000 films and 4 million film stills.

The MoMA has two locations: the main museum in Midtown Manhattan and a secondary building, known as the MoMA PS1 in the neighborhood of Queens. MoMA PS1’s main function is to bring together artists and the general public under one meeting space, while encouraging the understanding of Contemporary Art.
