On our visit to New York City in 2009, we visited MoMA. It was only a quick visit as we were leaving that day, but we got to see what we wanted. Except for the Tim Burton Exhibition, but we later got to see that when it visited Melbourne. These are some of our highlights.
Of course we shouldn't expect anything less than tremendously long lines at MoMA, even during Winter. But one can always rely on a trusty sister to have pre-bought tickets to skip the queue.
We passed a colossal dinosaur and reached the Architecture.
I liked these sketches. Parc de la Villette, Paris 1982-1998 by Bernard Tschumi.
Up close and personal with Zaha Hadid, you go girl. Parc de la Villette, Paris Project 1982-1983.
Very expressive rendering Hans. Volcania, Saint-Ours-les-Roches, Auvergne, France 1994-2001 by Hans Hollein.
Superstudio featured The Continuous Monument project, 1969.
There were models too. And budding architects like myself milling around the ideas of the greats.
One of the most exciting parts was seeing fancy furniture, particularly a Le Corbusier Chaise lounge!
Oh la la!
The ideas where amazing, and very photogenic too! It was design heaven.
We oogled at Monet's Waterlillies and were in awe when we got to finally see Van Gogh's Starry Night!
Thanks MoMA.
