ART WEEK: MOMA

What better way of starting off art week is showcasing the megalith of art, New York City's Museum of Modern Art? The newly updated building is the Mecca for modern art lovers. Their permanent collection is staggering in its scope and depth. Although we only had a few short hours in the museum before flying back to LA (got the chance to pop in after our last day at the National Stationery Show) so we had to find an areas of focus. We ran through the 20th century modern masters, starting with Cubists and Dadaists, ending with Futurists and Expressionists.

The central atrium serves as an anchor point for multiple floors and diverse collections. It's a fun place for people watching, seeing people interacting with art pieces on multiple levels. It is a clean (somewhat austere) modern building that lets the art take center stage.
