Learning about art at MOMA in New York City

Last summer we had the opportunity to travel for the first time to New York City. Using our city pass to the fullest, we went to every major tourist attraction that we could possibly manage to see.

One of these attractions on that fabulous pass was the Museum of Modern Art. We basically ran through the museum trying to fit everything in during our far to short of time in the city, but we pause long enough for a moment to capture this special moment; A mother teaching her daughter an appreciation for art.

It was a beautiful moment in time that made us pause and stop to take in the magic and beauty of the art surrounding us. We can’t wait to go back to New York and give it the entire week that it deserves.

    • Glad we could remind you Lorna. We were pleasantly surprised with how much we loved New York and we too are looking forward to going back.

  2. Great shot! I think the black and white is a really nice touch. MOMA was impressive… and HUGE. I remember being overwhelmed trying to see everything in one day.

    • You are right, we only had a couple of days in New York and we were overwhelmed trying to see everything in the city. We can’t wait to go back.

  3. Nice perspective! I loved the MoMA – one of the weekday evenings is free and the lineup to get it stretched for a whole block.

    • That’s great to know that they have a free evening. We’ll check it out when we go back to New York. Cheers.

  4. Great candid pic! And MoMA yes, fabulous but alas waaay to big to do it justice in but a couple of hours. For that I’d strongly suggest the Guggenheim – the (circular) building alone (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright) is an amazing sight, and the museum – a fabulous collection of the Impressionists, that can be digested fully in little more than an hour.

    • Thanks for the information Dyanne. Yes, we are looking forward to going back to New York to give everything the proper time that it needs. I will check out the Guggenheim for sure.

    • It definitely seems like it is a favourite of many. I am glad that we had the chance to visit it. Now we have to go back to see some more and give it the time it deserves. Cheers.

    • Thanks Aaron. We have to go back to explore it some more and spend more time. But for our short visit, we were very impressed.

  7. Beautiful photo. MOMA was such a great museum, the few hours I spent there just wasn’t enough time, and I don’t even know that much about art.
