This was my first time visiting the Museum of Modern Art and it was quite an experience. The museum itself is incredible, 6 floors, and an outdoor lobby. My original plan was to start from the 6th floor and make my way down to the first floor. I did, in fact, start at the 6th floor, and it was the most interesting one to me. The museum had just opened up a new exhibit a few days before, Is Fashion Modern? I started out excited and loved seeing the different pieces through the ages. It was interesting to see how many trends of the past have come back into popularity. As I made my way to the 5th floor, I didn’t exactly know what to expect. I saw many famous pieces I’ve heard of before, and it was pretty cool to see in person, versus a google search image. I sometimes felt like I wasn’t doing it right though. I would simply walk through the museum, and look at the pieces, but I noticed just about everyone else was spending at least a full 60 seconds observing each work of art. I was about halfway through the 3rd floor when the security guards began ushering everyone out of the museum because it was closing. On my way out I discovered a window that overlooked the outdoor lobby, and I must say, at 5:20 the lighting was impeccable for taking photos. In all, it was a great experience, especially because it was free, and I would love to do it again with some friends.
