Last weekend I drove into Brooklyn and parked my car near the restaurant where we had plans for Mike's 30th birthday dinner. I took the F train all the way up to MOMA and spent the day wandering around the museum. It was my first time to the new building and it was very enjoyable.
The courtyard/sculpture garden was especially nice. Don't you like how this woman's hair blends into the white wall?
I really enjoyed this piece. It's called "You Can't See the Forest For the Trees" by Marcel Odenbach. It was lovely to look at from far away...
...and made even more interesting by a closer look:
Here is a huge self-portrait by Chuck Close in the lobby of the Education Center. At the bottom of the photo you can see books in a display case showing part of the collection from the library at the museum.
A wall of Warhol Cows, also in the Education Center:
They were installing a few new shows. It was interesting to see how much is involved in moving art from one place to another.
It's really a lovely building and worth checking out if you're ever in NYC.
Right around the corner from the museum was Radio City Music Hall and a street festival going on. It was cool to walk down the middle of the street and get the feel of the cavernous buildings.
After the enjoying the museum and the street fair I headed back to Brooklyn on the F train and met up with Mike, David, Kim, her Mike and Nina for a lovely dinner celebrating Mike's 30th Birthday.
Another great day in NYC!
