Press Release – May 1, 2007
Grove Art Online and Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) Share Educational Resources

Oxford University Press and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) are delighted to announce that Grove Art Online (www.groveart.com) and MoMA will share educational resources online. Beginning in September 2007, the newly redesigned Grove Art Online will offer special MoMA learning resources created by MoMA’s Education Department. These MoMA learning resources offer dozens of lesson plans on interesting topics, including modern architecture, design, performance art, collaborative practice, portraiture, art and movement, and more. Each unit and lesson plan includes MoMA images, lesson objectives, discussion topics, activities, and suggested Grove Art Online readings curated by the MoMA Education Department.
 
In summer 2007, MoMA’s online collection (www.moma.org/collection) and museum kiosks will offer 800 biographies and thematic articles from Grove Art Online to enable deeper discovery of art historical information on modern art and artists. We believe that this partnership will enable younger audiences and a broad public to explore, discover, and learn more about a rich and fascinating area of the visual arts.
