25:26 MoMA

it's been raining since last night and there is no sign that the rain will stop. my niece left early in the morning at wee hour of 5am while i continue my beauty sleep till much later as i have a long day including a night flight home.

i bought the MoMA ticket in combination with top of the rock and so i set off to MoMA at 50th street shortly after checking out.

it was really crowded, either all tourists have upgrade their sense for art or it is just because it is raining out there and so everyone trying to find a shelter to kill time. i thought i had a ticket that gives me direct access to the museum, later i knew that i only got a voucher that needs to be exchange into ticket under such a messy queue and crowds. what to do, thankfully there is free wifi service to past time.

it is quite hard to appreciate the arts when it is so crowded, elbow to elbow and navigating from room to room taking so much time

can't remember the name of this artist/painter, but i saw the film in chicago institvte of arts as well. the painted objects are new to me

Abstract, hard to interpret....as usual

picasso, the earlier work and also some of the later ones

this is done by a chinese artist from beijing, converting a van by extending it with textile, one can even go into the car and enjoy a chinese song playing inside the van. it was quite cool to hear the chinese vocal...

here come the furniture design objects some are really funky, some totally impractical

nonetheless these are arty objects

look familiar, i also thought it's ikea show room, perhaps ikea got the ideas from here or perhaps ikea designer crews are as inspired as those items on display at MoMA

I must admit despite the crowds i still manage to enjoy myself to the fullest, finding my sense of quietness and enlightenment while appreciating some of the master piece creations and also enjoying some interactive design. the crowds don't seem to matter when the appreciation for art surpass the mandate of life...

MoMA, thanks for the arty fix of the trip...
