MoMa Visit

I had the pleasure of visiting the MoMA this weekend with some of my friends. It was nice to visit one of the many museums that we have here in our city as well as use the on of the many benefits I have by being a Cuny student. This was my first time actually visiting this museum and I was surprised by the intricacies of all the exhibits. At first I thought it was just going to be a basic art museum where none of the works really catch the viewer’s eyes or make an impression, but I was honestly impressed. The first thing that you see when you enter the exhibition floor is a full scale model of the MoMa itself. It was a hundred percent accurate to the smallest details such as the stairs going from floor to floor and the square with benches outside the museum itself. They had countless pieces from various time periods. Each piece had a complex story to tell about the world during the time and place it was made. Not only did the museum contain paintings that jumped out at you, the MoMa also had sculptures that depicted faces of people, majestic animals, even the moons and stars of space. Then if sculptures and paintings aren’t your preference they have a section for photography and film. I enjoyed my visit to the MoMa immensely and I would recommend everyone to visit as well.
