Founded in 1969 with a promised gift of 300 works by Roy R. Neuberger, one of the leading private collectors, philanthropists, and arts advocates of the 20th century, the museum's collection of modern, contemporary and African art has grown to over 6,000 objects by artists including Milton Avery, Romare Bearden, Willem de Kooning, Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Jackson Pollock. Alongside the permanent collection, critically acclaimed special exhibitions feature the works of 20th-century masters, mid-career and emerging artists.

The museum's signature biannual award, the 'Roy R. Neuberger Prize', recognizes the work of exceptional contemporary artists, continuing its founding patron's dedication to supporting artists early in their careers.

Artists in the collection include Milton Avery, Romare Bearden, Stuart Davis, Willem de Kooning, Richard Diebenkorn, Arthur Dove, Helen Frankenthaler, Marsden Hartley, Hans Hofmann, Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and David Smith.^[3]

From 2005 to 2010, Thom Collins was the director.^[4] In July 2012, Paola Morsiani took over as the museum's director. Tracy Fitzpatrick became director in November 2014.^[5]
