I'm not sure about the industrial design category. Unless only used where the prototype is held at MoMA, each of those objects can be held in dozens of design museums, which could lead to category clutter. Regarding architecture, there would probably be some exhibitions which were notable, and there could be a category for the directors of the MoMA architecture department, but otherwise a list of the architecture collections will be probably the best way to link all related articles together (something like List of works in MoMA Architecture Department). --Elekhh (talk) 06:28, 9 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Well, for industrial designs it should be kept in mind that many, many of these articles already mentioned the MoMA affiliation in the intro as something enhancing basic notability, because of the Modern's historic place in the field; the ubiquitous phrase "this design is preserved in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art" is de facto a badge of what is really the world's best-known Industrial design award.--Pharos (talk) 18:21, 9 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Indeed, it was the only one that was FA before we started; maybe it should be this WikiProject's "model" article.--Pharos (talk) 22:34, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
They also published the architect's book Venturi, Robert (1977). Complexity and contradiction in architecture, 2nd edition. The Museum of Modern Art. pp. 132. ISBN0870702823, 9780870702822 which was written as he built the house.
What I'd like ideally is: ability to upload the pictures of the models (are more photos available? in larger sizes?) complete with the metadata so I know what design date each represents. And any info or text that the museum has used in the display of these models.
This would lead to (at least) an illustrated section on the development of the house's design, which might be considered more broadly as the development of post-modern architecture. Thanks for any help.
I've shared the Vanna Venturi House request with the folks at MoMA (they were happy to hear your interest!), and from there we'll send it on to the right department. Of course, more work on architectural models and plans, and figuring out how to work with these systematically, would be most wonderful for advancing future efforts in the architectural field.--Pharos (talk) 17:08, 13 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
The starting question is about copyright. The Venturi models are tagged (c) Robert Venturi. So is MoMA at all in a position to release images of them under a free license? Than I see that even images of works by Paul Klee which are in the public domain since 1 January this year are still tagged at MoMA as copyrighted. --Elekhh (talk) 12:18, 19 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Even if the Venturi models are copyrighted it's still useful to have a couple of example fair use images, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Public art/Image guide might be a good guideline. On a side note, I do think they can be forgiven for not having a bot immediately update all the Paul Klee copyrights :P--Pharos (talk) 19:52, 22 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Are such lists suitable for article space? The list you've created says: This is a list of works in the Department of Painting and Sculpture collection of the Museum of Modern Art, and organized by decade of creation. / It includes works classified by the museum as "highlights" of its collection, or otherwise notable in the literature. So it's not a list of what MoMA says are highlights but rather such a list augmented in a way that's not clearly specified. (Who determines whether something is "notable in the literature", and how?) This seems pretty arbitrary to me. ¶ This doesn't mean that such a list is worthless or useless -- it could be worthwhile as an indicator to editors (rather than encyclopedia users) of how much work, and what work, needs to be done. However, for this purpose it should instead be a subpage here. (Cf this list of Japanese photographers, with explicit selection criteria and rightly in project space rather than article space.) -- Hoary (talk) 23:04, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Actually, in this case a list is incredibly useful to encyclopedia users, because it documents a collection of real objects in an actual physical space (unlike your other example), that many people will be interested in visiting in person.--Pharos (talk) 18:03, 22 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

MoMA is quite specific, I'm not clear what GLAM signifies. WikiProject Museum of Modern Art is not specific, it is ambiguous and confusing and the assumption that anyone would understand it to refer to MoMA is rather blinkered. Opbeith (talk) 09:44, 13 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Well, this institution is the original and still very much primary meaning of Museum of Modern Art, in the clear context of this particular field. As to "GLAM" (Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums), that's just meant for consistency with our sister initiatives at Wikipedia:GLAM/Projects.--Pharos (talk) 15:09, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I'd sign up as a member, but I have no idea what member category to join. There are no descriptions of the different categories. --Trelawnie (talk) 00:16, 19 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Is there any opposition to moving these pages to reflect the full name of the organization (Museum of Modern Art)? I think abbreviations should be reserved for redirects, and that way (when browsing categories or project pages) readers know which institution is being referred to. --Another Believer(Talk)17:30, 16 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

I have listed List of video games in the Museum of Modern Art as a FL candidate. This is my first attempt of raising something to featured status, so I hope it will go well. I have asked for feedback on the video games WikiProject, but seeing as this list is a high-importance article for this WikiProject, it seems natural to mention it here as well. Feel free to look it over if you have the time. ~Mable (chat) 11:53, 21 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
The list has just been promoted to Featured List, making it the second featured-class article in this Wikiproject, if I'm not mistaken ^_^ ~Mable (chat) 15:21, 16 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

I am in the process of researching the photographers who participated in Steichen's The Family of Man and filling in the redlinks in the list of photographers by creating articles on them. Is it appropriate that I add a WikiProject Museum of Modern Art tag on the Talk page of each? Also, I notice there is no WP entry for Grace M. Mayer who was Curator of Photography 1964-1968 and Curator of the Edward Steichen Archive 1968-1996 at MoMA. Is there one in the pipeline, or should I start one?
