The Museum of Modern Art reports via Dexigner reports that
“In keeping with the Museum’s long tradition of presenting animation, this is the most extensive gallery exhibition that MoMA has ever devoted to the genre.
Featuring over 500 works of original art on loan for the first time from Pixar Animation Studios, the show includes paintings, concept art, sculptures, and an array of digital installations.
These works reveal the intricate, hands-on processes behind Pixar’s computer-generated films-including Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, and numerous shorts.
The exhibition also includes a complete retrospective of Pixar films.
Demonstrating the symbiotic relationship between traditional and digital media pioneered by the studio over its twenty-year history, Pixar: 20 Years of Animation is a tribute to the artists whose work has reinvented the genre.”
The exhibiton is between December 14, 2005–February 6, 2006 at the
Film and Media Gallery, Titus 1 Lobby Gallery, Titus 2 Lobby Gallery, and throughout the first floor.

Found your blog through Wikipedia – great job! Thank you as well for the kind words about the (recently closed) Pixar exhibit at MoMA. I am a MoMA employee and the place was PACKED for the entire duration of the exhibit. In fact, there was a 90 minute wait to view the video installations this past Saturday (2/4). Can’t wait to see Cars!
thanks Kate for the kind comments. Glad to read that you read my blog. I would have loved to have been able to go to the exhibit. It sounded absolutely awesome!
