A couple of weeks ago, my family had the opportunity to make a visit to the Museum of Modern Art. Unfortunately I was busy, so I didn’t get the chance to go with them. However, when I found out I could attend an exhibition offered at a New York City museum for my first-year seminar blog post, I realized that gave me the perfect chance to go the Museum of Modern Art and see what I missed. On Wednesday, September 6, after finishing my two morning classes of the day at school, I took the 6 train to the 51 Street subway station, and walked a couple of blocks to the Museum of Modern Art.
When I got to the Museum of Modern Art, I first had to wait like fifteen minutes on a really long line just to check in my bag. That was definitely not the highlight of my day. Anyways, after I was finished checking in my bag, I got to go upstairs and explore the museum. Naturally, because the museum was very big with a lot of floors, there was a lot of art I was able to see. My favorite piece of art would have to have been the sculpture “Canyon,” which was located in the Robert Rauschenberg exhibit. Rauschenberg’s “Canyon” was a sculpture of a stuffed eagle sticking out of a canvas. I thought it looked cool and Rauschenberg did a good job with it. Another piece I liked, which I can’t quite remember the name of, was one where two artists made their own separate pieces of art, and just combined them together to form one thing. I think that shows unity among people which I think is a great thing. My visit to the Museum of Modern Art was very nice, and I definitely won’t pass up the chance to go the next time I’m asked.
