The MOMA



Hi guys, visited the MOMA last Sunday in NYC. Ideal weather, not too crowded. Saw a vast array of modern art, paint, sculpture.




Getting there was a snap; only $18.50 round trip from Stamford express line to Grand Central Station. Saw familiar artist's works (Pollock, Mondrian) and some that were a complete surprise (Magritte). Plenty of space to view an abundance of pieces.

Modern art really seems to move me, I like the freedom it encompasses. For the post I've decided on the artist Rene Maggritte.



During the course of the mod, I've gone from a infrequent visitor, to visiting museums on a fairly continuous basis. A big part that I'll take from the class, is a new appreciation of museums and what they have to offer. All the best, Tad

Awesome photos, Tad.

We were there Friday... we took Metro-North for $25 each way (per person). $20 per/p for the museum.

Great post Tad! Your renewed interest in visits to museums is just the result I am hoping for as one of the outcomes of this class.
