The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) director Terrence Riley hopes to make design an issue once again at the MoMA. Riley firmly believes that the issues that drive design are the same issues that drive architecture. He sees a need to update the museum's visual presentation to achieve equal emphasis on populism and academic credibility. His initial efforts were focused on contextualization of furniture exhibits with period drawings and photographs. He also plans to utilize audio commentaries to help explain design concepts of the objects on exhibit.
