The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, has announced that it will open its doors seven days a week starting in May 2013. MoMA, which is currently closed on Tuesdays, was originally open daily from 1929 until 1975, when budget cuts forced it to shut one day a week. The decision came two weeks after the director of another local museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, said that his institution was also looking into opening every day.
