One Twenty Five

The Museum of Modern Art

I’m lucky enough to have a good friend in NYC who works at The MOMA, which meant last Thursday she got me in for free *lucky me!* However, I’ve always loved The MOMA, so if you head to NYC I think it’s definitely worth the admission price (Adults $25 / Students $14).

In first year university I had a bout of ‘perhaps I want to go into Art History’ thoughts, which lead to me taking several courses in art.  I can’t say I remember much from those courses, but I did learn what art I love —> art from the Impressionists (say, around 1880) up until the 1960’s or 70’s, and what art I don’t, well, more accurately what art I don’t understand… art from the 1960’s or 70’s up until this very minute - but I could have done that…?!? :)

I really enjoyed this quiet day by myself, keeping company with some of the world’s greatest pieces.
