Founded in 1931, The Whitney Museum of American Art moved to its current location in 1966.
It houses collections of twentieth and twenty-first century American art.
The fifth- floor galleries contain art from the permanent collection, 1900 to 1949; the second floor exhibits art from 1950 to the present day. Other floors are devoted to changing exhibitions.
