Fiat 500 - The Value of Good Design

Fiat 500 MoMA Display Opens

The Fiat 500 F series, acquired by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York in 2017, was seen by the general public for the first time on February 10, 2019. The car will be on display in the “The Value of Good Design” exhibition, which tells the story of industrial design through the works of the MoMA collection, running until June 15, 2019.

The induction in MoMA’s galleries further certifies the historical importance and symbolic value of the Fiat 500 of the 1950s as an Italian style icon that embodies many of the typical features of modernist design of the age and connects to the themes explored by the collections on display in the museum in New York.
