For this assignment, I decided to go to the MoMA. I have been to MoMA before a couple years ago, but I completely forgot how much I liked all of the artwork in there. In a lot of museums, a lot of the art can come off as old and of the same nature, but MoMA really has work that is more striking and bold in my opinion. It’s probably because as the name suggests, the art is more modern. When I first walked into the museum, I was quickly overwhelmed with how many people were in there. However, the fact that the museum was well organized and easy to navigate through made that a little better. A lot of people were gathered around a certain painting and I got the chance to see that it was Van Gogh’s famous Starry Night, which is even more beautiful in person. This painting was on the fifth floor, which was my favorite floor. It’s the floor with all of the collection galleries, having all of the famous pieces of artwork that I have grown up seeing and hearing about from artists such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, and Frida Kahlo. I saw paintings that I totally forgot I previously analyzed for art in middle school, such as Dali’s Persistence of Memory and Rene Magritte’s The Lovers. It was cool seeing the physical art pieces that I have analyzed before from the computer. Outside, there is a courtyard that is really nice for fresh air, places to sit, and more artwork to admire. It’s especially nice considering the amount of people inside the museum. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the entire day to look through all the floors and see all the artwork, but I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits I did get to see.
