MOMA

Thanks to the fact my sister works at MoMA PS1, I was lucky enough to get into the Museum of Modern Art for free (muchos gracias Cara). So not only was I super happy not to pay the $25 entry fee, I continued to get even more excited as I kept spotting artwork after artwork that I recognised! 

I started on the top floor with the Christopher Williams exhibition: A Production Line of Happiness.

First work I recognised, Marcel Duchamp!!! (aka King or should I say Queen of Dada)

Next up, Vincent Van Gough's "The Starry Night"!

And Salvador Dali's "The Persistance of Memory"!! This was one of the first artworks I ever studied, all the way back in Primary School!

Then I spotted Picasso's "Les Demoiselles D'Avignon" and nearly passed out! You don't understand how many quotes and symbols I memorised for the HSC about this artwork.

I continued to be surprised as I kept stumbling across more and more famous works.

I can't even begin to describe how amazing MoMA was.. It was just so cool being able to finally see these works 'in the flesh'. Probably one of my favourite places so far in NYC, I still get excited just writing about it!
