The One and Only MoMA
The Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art has always been one of my favorite museums. I know, I know. You’re probably wondering why I love every single museum. But the truth is that New York offers some of the best museums in the world, and that’s not an exaggeration. The Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art (or MoMA, for short) has one of the world’s most extensive galleries of art, ranging from more classic paintings like Vincent Van Gogh’s Colors of the Night to more contemporary pieces like Raqib Shaw’s Garden of Earthly Delight III. There are so many different aspects of art that are well-covered by the MoMA’s endless variety of works. The first time I visited the MoMA was when I was five, and the only thing I remembered from that visit was Van Gogh’s Starry Night. I didn’t have much of a clue at all as to what was going on, considering I was five. But now, visiting the MoMA for a second time, my perception of things are so much clearer (at least I hope so). There were pieces of art that made me wonder how it even got classified as art, like Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s Untitled piece that displayed paper rolled into sharp cones and placed base-down onto the paper, but in general, the visit to the MoMA was highly enjoyable.
