You seem to have a wonderful time in New York. You must have seen a lot of new things. Love the works of art. Van Gogh’s Starry Night is no doubt a classic.

gosh… What’s next?… No, I haven’t seen that naked cowboy performing on Times Square, nor his half naked cowgirl. I guess he’s there during the day only, while I was getting out only in the evenings after work.
So funny – turns out he didn’t pass American Idol auditions, nor America’s got talent :-)

LOL Vivien. Do a Google Search for “naked cowboy” and you’ll see what I mean. No joke, it was the middle of November and this guy was out performing.

Hi Chris. I also wanted to go to the Metropolitan museum, it was actually pretty close to where I was staying in NY, but just didn’t get the time for it :-( I got to MOMA just because on Fridays it’s open till 8pm, otherwise it was closing at 5:30pm, just when I was finishing my work.

Brian, what means you “got to experience the “Naked Cowboy” performance”?
I’m too open to different forms of art, but not necessarily accepting all of them. Sometimes I find it more interesting to learn about the artist then look at his art.

Hi Anne. I too loved the b&w photography section in the museum, but unfortunately didn’t have much time left to check out all the gallery rooms. Yes, I did manage to see a lot in NY, though there’s certainly much more to see. So I definitely look forward to future trips to NY :-)

The Museum of Modern Art is a treasure of some of the world’s finest art. Personally I love Dali and black and white photos from the 1930’s.
In the relatively small area of Manhattan lie some of the world’s greatest museums.

You managed to see a great deal in a short time.

Wow! Sounds like you had a pretty good time exploring “The City”. Times Square is a real trip sometimes — I always got a kick out of standing on the islands and just watching people go every which way. One time, I even got to experience the “Naked Cowboy” performance.

I never did make it to any of the museums… I wish I had though. As far as modern art goes, I can’t say that I have a strong opinion one way or the other. I can appreciate most “art” that I encounter, and looking through tons of photos every day has definitely had an impact on my views of art. I’m finding that I’m more open to and accepting of different forms and styles of art as time goes by.

You brought up some memories for me. I haven’t gone to the Museum of Modern Art, but I’ve gone to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and it was a lot of fun.

It is amazingly huge. I don’t remember many specifics because its been years, but I think I went and saw some Byzantine Art exhibit which was really interesting. Also had a chance to see some great paintings and sculpture.

The one problem I have visiting New York is that driving/parking/navigating is so hard for me. I get lost easily even in small cities.

It would be nice to visit the Museum of Modern Art sometime.
