Museum of Modern Art
The Museum of Modern Art was interesting because it had such a range of complexity. As the elevation rose, the prestige of the art did, too. The most famous works were on the top floors, such as Picasso and Van Gogh. Those were great to see in person although I was confused as to whether or not they were original/real or just copies. I remember one exhibit was huge sheets of paper that had famous speeches transcribed into musical notes. Some exhibits were as simple as walls or blank pieces of paper.
The one hilarious part of the museum was the one that focused on weird sculptures. One theme of his artist was genitals. Before entering the room, we were in another room that had cat food on the floor which I thought were real bags, but they were actually sculptures. (There were also realistic sculptures of apples elsewhere). But when we walked into the room, Carla and I burst out laughing hysterically. There was genitalia wallpaper all over the room and it was very unexpected. The artist also liked limbs sticking out from the walls apparently, so there was a lot of that. Basically, there was a lot of artistic display of random things on walls and sculptures. It was also very embarrassing because my reactions were witnessed by the security guards, who probably see this like twenty times a day. There was a vintage room and a game room, which were cool and interactive. I listened to music on an old telephone and Carla played video games with stimulators. It was a very fun experience. Modern art covers a broad range of ideas and abstract genres that people have a lot of money and free time to spend making them. I’m thankful for that.
