The American Museum of Art is an educational institution dedicated to collecting, preserving, and exhibiting memories primarily of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the International Circular Exhibitions of American Art program. It is precisely these MoMA exhibitions, some of which were curated by Dorothy Miller, that helped create the first common post-war cultural identity in Western Europe, an identity based on internationalism, modernism and individualism.

The permanent exhibition at the Museum of American Art in Prishtina consists of two parts. One part deals with the pre-World War II history of the Museum of Modern Art. The second part deals with the first two decades after World War II and the display of American art on the world stage with the MoMA exhibitions of American Art between 1946-1956.

The Museum of American Art in Prishtina was established in 2016 by Stacion - Center for Contemporary Art Prishtina in collaboration with the Museum of American Art in Berlin.
