MoMA

Today we did the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Some parts of it are kinda weird... But most of it is amazing!! 

They had so many Picasso's and Matisse and Monet! It was great!! And this famous Van Gogh:

 
Here are some other pieces we really enjoyed:





The last one close up is actually really textured:

Super cool!

In the design area they had an installation on video games which was really cool! Everything from pacman to Portal! There were some crazy Japanese games as well. One that was based solely on music that brad and I couldn't really figure out how to work and another that was supposed to replicate real life. You could choose to have a life partner or not and you wander through this world trying to avoid obstacles and find rewards. At the end you die! And when your life partner dies you slow down with all of the grief. It's pretty crazy. 

We also wanted to go see the Rain Room installation. It looks AMAZING! But the line up was at capacity for the day when we got there... It's a pretty big ticket! You go into a geodesic dome and it is raining inside... But it never rains on you!! The rain will stop above you!! We really wanted to go check it out! Oh well... C'est la vie!

Overall MoMA was pretty cool... But I definitely don't get some of the more modern art stuff...:) I'll stick with Picasso, Degas, and Monet!!
