Features: When a museum's collection accumulates to a certain quantity, the overall appearance of the exhibits often changes with certain factors, much like a mosaic puzzle forming different patterns due to the transformation of its parts. These factors include time, differences in personal tastes and preferences arising from personnel changes, and unpredictable historical circumstances, among others. Therefore, all museums must categorize, introduce, and display their collections to articulate their own concepts and express their perspectives. For modern art museums, this is particularly evident because their collections are the most important means for them to articulate their views on modern art. This book collects 350 outstanding works from the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), showcasing the richness of the museum's collection, elucidating the diversity of its beliefs, and exploring related issues. This does not mean that the book aims to be all-encompassing or to provide a final verdict on the museum's collection. On the contrary, the purpose of this book is to explore the inherent complex structure and diverse potential values of the collection.

If one attempts to answer this question, an intricate institution is immediately presented before the public, an institution that has always contained a multitude of meanings since its inception.
