学校🏫

Metropolitan Museum of Art: Inception Space for Human Civilization This 130,000 square-metre maze hides a larger landscape than the New York skyline. It is recommended to start your time-travel from the Greek and Roman exhibition halls - the sun shines through the glass dome on the 6th century BC marble statues, the lines of the muscles of the gods are still breathing. The temple of the Danyu Temple in the Egyptian Pavilion is the most breathtaking. The complete 15th century BC temple was moved by the wealthy in 1965 and is now soaked in artificial pools, the water reflects the modern tourists, forming a absurd space-time shadow. The &quot;Pharmacist&#39;s Changing Map&quot; in the Asian exhibition hall on the second floor always sits with a thoughtful oriental face, and the Tiffany glass window in the American Wing Courtyard is always a collection of selfie net reds. The real magic happens half an hour before the closing. As the crowd disperses, you can be alone with Van Gogh&rsquo;s self-portrait on the empty European Painting Corridor, watching the twisted brush strokes of the canvas awaken in the dusk. The $25 suggested ticket is a bargain - here you buy not a ticket but a night flight permit for the human civilization of 3,000 years.

Statue of Liberty

Book now for tomorrow

The Statue of Liberty: Green Rust Mottled American Fable This bronze sculpture presented by the French has long been the most expensive postcard in New York. As you take the crowded ferry near Liberty Island, you will see the goddess&#39; rusty abrasive glow in the sun - an inch thick layer of oxide, just like the hard-to-ignore years of pulp on the surface of the American Dream. The experience of the crown is full of metaphors. The process of climbing the 354-level spiral staircase is like the struggle of new immigrants: the more up space the more forced, the final look out from the 25 small windows of the crown, the Manhattan skyline becomes a cut-out fragment. In front of the poem tablet of the new giant on the pedestal, tourists from all over the country took turns taking pictures with the verses of &quot;Give me your tired&quot;, and the number of strollers in the security team suggested that the migrant story was still being written. The most moving moment was at dusk. When the sun set on the torch, the saxophonists on the cruise ship began to play &quot;America the Beautiful&quot;. At this time, the goddess turned back to Wall Street and faced the Atlantic Ocean - a position that has been held for 137 years, whether to welcome or farewell.

Night view

Empire Building: The Evening Ceremony of the Skyscraper As the peak of the Art Deco, this 102-story giant has long surpassed the meaning of the building itself. Even if the New World Trade Center took away the title of &quot;New York&#39;s tallest&quot;, its golden age of steel rivets still made every visitor willing to pay $42 for tickets. The open-air observation deck is the real soul. When mist shrouded Manhattan, You will suddenly understand why workers risked their lives in 1931 to operate here - from this high overlooking Central Park into emerald town paper, the ferry on the East River turned into glowing beetles. The 102-story all-glass viewing cabin brings sweet vertigo through the transparent floor underfoot, The elevator well is as soft as the bottomless abyss. Admission is recommended at 3pm. Enjoy the aluminum foil relief constellation dome in the lobby before reaching the top floor at sunset. Watch the sunset gilded the spire of Chrysler Building while your shadow is elongated projected onto the Hudson River. All the imaginations about New York will be fulfilled. Don&#39;t forget to touch the &quot;Builder Honor List&quot; of the North Wall when you leave the scene, and those workers who worked miracles in Depression Era are always more worth remembering than steel.

The Museum of Modern Art

Museum of Modern Art, New York: Abbey of Pioneer Art This six-story concrete box contains the most insane imaginations of modern people. The $25 ticket is a pass to the 20th-century art temple where Van Gogh&rsquo;s Starry Night and Monet&rsquo;s Waterly Lily are separated by two fire doors, as if the entire history of modern art were compressed into a walking corridor of time and space. The &quot;Modern Classic&quot; exhibition hall on the fifth floor is always crowded. Before Dali&#39;s &quot;Eternity of Memory&quot;, tourists crooked their heads to mimic the shape of the melting clock; and Mattis&#39;s &quot;Dance&quot; ring composition, always allows the mobile phone lens to automatically switch to panoramic mode. The media gallery on the ground floor hides real surprises: Bill Viola&#39;s holographic images burn in the water, and the Infinity Mirror House in the grass makes every entrants into particles of the universe. The most moving moment is free Thursday night. When the New Yorker stands alongside the backpacker in front of Jackson Pollock&rsquo;s drip painting, and the security guards begin urging closure in ten languages, you suddenly realize that the museum&rsquo;s greatest work is its stubborn belief in democratizing art. Don&#39;t forget to touch the steel tree in the atrium when you leave the venue - this Calder sculpture will tell you that modern art never stops growing.

Rockefeller Center

Rockefeller Center: Urban Temple of Art Deco This midtown city of 19 buildings perfectly illustrates Art Deco&#39;s modern aesthetic. Aboard the Rocky Observation Deck (Top of the Rock), the New York skyline unfolds at your feet like origami - looking north to the green lungs of Central Park, looking south to the spire of the Empire State Building piercing the clouds, more layered than from the Empire State Building itself. Under the golden Prometheus statue of the sinking square, it becomes a dream ice rink in winter and an open-air cafe in summer. The 30s mural &quot;Progress of America&quot; is set in the hall dome, depicting the utopian fantasy of the industrial era, and today&#39;s office workers in suits and leathers rush past, forming a wonderful dialogue between reality and art. In the transparent live room of NBC studio, the morning show host is smiling at the camera, turning the daily life of the media empire into a sightseeing repertoire. It is recommended to visit at dusk. When the twilight is painted rose gold for stainless steel sculptures and the neon sign of Radio City Music Hall is gradually lit up, this commercial temple reveals its most romantic face - the Rockefeller family built not only an office building, but also a love letter dedicated to the modern city.
