Fiat 500 Headed to Museum of Modern Art

The best-loved car in Fiat’s history, the Fiat 500 ‘Cinquecento’ becomes a work of modern art and joins the permanent collection of the MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art, in New York.

“The Fiat 500 is an icon of automotive history that fundamentally altered car design and production,” said Martino Stierli, The Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design at MoMA. “Adding this unpretentious masterpiece to our collection will allow us to broaden the story of automotive design as told by the Museum.”
