The first North American film archive and museum, the film library pioneered an expansive moving image network, comprising popular, abstract, animated, American, Canadian, and European films. More than a repository, MoMA circulated these films nationally and internationally, connecting the modern art museum to universities, libraries, women's clubs, unions, archives, and department stores. Under the aegis of the museum, cinema also changed. Like books, paintings, and photographs, films became discrete objects, integral to thinking about art, history, and the politics of modern life. 606 $aMotion pictures$xPreservation$zUnited States 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xPreservation 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 676 $a026/.79143/097471 700 $aWasson$b Haidee$f1970-$01006254 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450078103321 996 $aMuseum movies$92315298 997 $aUNINA
