First-Year Seminar FMA

Museum of Modern Art

Post 1 Picture                                                          On Thursday September 14th, Ben JJ and I took a trip to the Museum of Modern Art. Google Maps were our best friend finding the museum. Once we arrived, we obtained our ticket. Regular adult admission to the museum is $25 but thanks to our Baruch ID’s, we were able to go in for free, a deal you don’t want to miss out on. It was my first time ever going to the museum so I didn’t know what to expect, it’s probably the last place you’d find me. But I honestly did have a great time because it took me out of my comfort zone and I was with good people. The three of us went up the escalators, roaming through the floors and observed various paintings and sculptures. It’s something you don’t experience everyday, so it was important to take advantage of that moment. We found this one sculpture encased in a thick glass layer. JJ and I were very puzzled about the glass more than the sculpture and began poking away at the glass and its corners. We were then stopped by the security in the room and awkwardly stepped away. We proceed up another level where we encountered the exhibit (didn’t catch the name of it unfortunately) we took our picture in front of. We were all so fascinated by it because of its originallity. The exhibit consisted of street sign with arrows pointing in different directions. At the same time, the three of us had a similar thought of famous rapper Quavo’s saying, “yeah that way”. We asked two different people to take the photo (not as satisfied with the first picture). Soon after we headed our separate ways. If you haven’t been to the Museum, take advantage of the free pass, whether you go alone or with other people, and it’s only 20 minutes from Baruch. I definitely got something a little more than I expected out of it.
