MoMA

| Discussing art with Chris |
I think that to me, personally, the
visit to the Museum of Modern Art was one of the highlights of the trip. Having
done the presentation about the landmark before actually visiting it, the
visitation was almost a dream come true: all the artwork that I’d only seen on
a computer screen finally right there in front of me, within an arm’s reach.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see all the works of art that I’d hoped to due
to the lack of time, for example the MoMA’s collection of Andy Warhol and the
painting by Umberto Boccioni that I’d fallen in love with, but the ones that I
did see made a great impact on me.
After the tour held
by a very professional guide we headed up to the fifth floor where the
paintings we had been dying to see were located: the many pieces by Monet,
Picasso, Mondrian, Matisse and many other great artists. I was so delighted to
see the most famous paintings with my own eyes, but I found myself getting
mesmerized by some less known ones too and I definitely fell for many new
artists from my experience in MoMA.
Another thing I loved
about the museum, putting aside the art inside, was the building and especially
the small garden: it was so serene and aesthetic, I could have stayed there
forever just listening to the sound of the water flowing in the fountain. The
inside of the museum was very open and filled with light and space.
I could’ve spent many more hours, even days,
just wandering around the museum, but unfortunately we only had limited time
there. If I got the chance, I would go back there in a heartbeat.
