- the Museum of Modern Art in central New York was one of my favourite things to visit during my stay there.- the architecture of the building inside is so impressive, with its huge ceiling which can be seen from the ground floor, to the functional layout design of stairs and escalators being included to look like art; an example being the first image which shows a glass frame of the staircase, which unusually results in a kind of modern art depending on who is moving up and down through the levels- it definately satisfies the people watching urge!
- the exhibits and works of art are set out very well, and given plenty of room to be appreciated without looking too crowded...with my favourite being the vast and impressive Monet painting shown directly above.
- although the museum shows modern art, there is still a huge range of sculpture, photography, installments and classical art, enough to keep everyone happy at least for one floor.
- although going to an art museum might not be top of your list when visiting New York, I would recommend going (and the gift shop is amazing!)

I agree with you again Em, I really enjoyed the MOMA, even though I was reluctant to go on the first day after arriving in New York! There was a wide variety of work, i particularly remember the tend with all the twigs and lights and things, i still don't know what that was about. The building was very cool and reflected the art that it housed, it sounds strange but as well as the art I really liked the striped multi coloured floor.
