Moderna Museet: The Collection is a book with short presentations of 125 artistic oeuvres, from the early 20th century to today. As for the history of photographic art, it dates back all the way to the 1840s, when photography was first developed. Among the thousands of artists who make up the Moderna Museet collection - one of the finest in Europe, these 125 are merely one selection among many. A collection is not static; more works are constantly being added, and our strategic aims for expanding the collection is described in the epilogue.
