The Art Museum endeavors to create a space where experiences with art can spark important and much needed dialogue, create room for learning, and make a positive social impact while sustaining a climate of curiosity and interest in the unfamiliar. It is our belief that the arts can contribute immensely to social welfare through a positive and reinforcing impact.
Our programming reflects the intersection of our belief in the critical impact of the arts, and the Trust's diverse focuses including craft, education, healthcare, and community service. We collaborate with local and international organizations, foreign missions, galleries, and various institutions to investigate the evolution of artistic practice in Pakistan through various formats of inquiry and exhibition.
The Museum of Art presents over 5,000 years of art from around the world for everyone to experience and enjoy. The Museum lives in two iconic sites in New York City—The Fifth Avenue and The Cloisters. Millions of people also take part in The Met experience online.
Since its founding in 1870, The Museum of Art has always aspired to be more than a treasury of rare and beautiful objects. Every day, art comes alive in the Museum's galleries and through its exhibitions and events, revealing new ideas and unexpected connections across time and across cultures.
"The Museum of Art collects, studies, conserves, and presents significant works of art across time and cultures in order to connect all people to creativity, knowledge, ideas, and one another."
The Art Museum is one of the only institutions in the city with a rich and growing collection of works by Old Masters and Modernists from Pakistan, currently in the process of being digitized. This archive serves as a site for research and study into Pakistani Art History as well as curatorial investigation for exhibitions.
