Welcome to the next generation of Making Sense of Modern Art (MSoMA). This program, recently brought to the Web in high bandwidth format, offers an extensive and engaging guide to modern and contemporary works in the Museum's permanent collection. Its rich-media format enables you to "zoom in" on full-screen details of individual artworks, explore excerpts from archival videos and films, and listen to commentary by artists, art historians, critics, and collectors. This feature works best with high-bandwidth Web access. You can also view it at the Museum on our interactive kiosks, located in the galleries and the Koret Visitor Education Center. If you can't access the QuickTime movies, please check our troubleshooting tips. We welcome your feedback regarding this program. Please send comments and inquiries to edu@sfmoma.org.
