Whitney Museum

For my English class, my classmates and I took a trip to the Whitney Museum.  As I left the train to walk towards the Whitney Museum, I realized that it was a rich neighborhood filled with steak houses and fashion stores. The museum itself has a very modern aesthetic to it. The whole outer layer of the museum was made out of glass and you can see the interior. As I got into a line for my ticket, a nice lady greeted me and told me that CUNY students get into the museum for free. After I got my ticket, I took the elevator into the 7th floor. The entire 7th floor was crowded and I couldn’t see that art exhibit, so I decided to take the stairs to down to one of the other exhibits. There was a exhibit of classical arts in the 6th floor, and I was particularly intrigued by the art “Poker Night”. I then went to the 5th floor where I was greeted by two fellow classmates. The exhibit was of protest against racism and the Vietnam war. It was the only exhibit that has works of art on the floor of the exhibit. After 2 hours of exploring the museum, the entire class met up at the bag check. It was overall a pretty good experience because I haven’t been to the museum is a long time.
