[Polaroid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/now-i2-camera) works in collaboration with the [Museum of Modern Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modello-uno-diving) in New York City to create the special [Now Generation 3 MoMA Edition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-now-generation-3-moma-edition). This is a limited instant camera by the two which is defined by its bold monochrome blue build. The camera is a symbol of art and technology fused into a device in a sense that honors creativity and self expression.

The MoMA logo makes its way on the front display in a bold way. This reinforces the connection to the museum in terms of its artful history. To join the camera, the brand launches three bright wrist straps -- each one is detailed with bold graphic designs to add a dynamic visual.
