The Museum of Modern Art announces Jack Whitten: The Messenger, the first comprehensive retrospective dedicated to the groundbreaking art of Jack Whitten (American, 1939–2018), on view from March 23 through August 2, 2025, in the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Center for Special Exhibitions. Presented solely at MoMA, the exhibition will explore the full range of Whitten’s innovative art over his nearly six-decade career, showing more than 175 works from the 1960s to the 2010s, including paintings, sculptures, rarely shown works on paper, and archival materials. Together, these works will reveal how Whitten overturned the tenets of modern art-making to become one of the most important artists of our time. Beginning his career during the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, Whitten was under great pressure to create directly representational art as a form of activism, yet he dared to invent new forms of abstraction and, in the process, transformed the relationship between art, memory, and society.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a stunning art palace, with a rich collection that is enough to make people linger. Whether it is ancient Egyptian statues, European Renaissance paintings, or Asian calligraphy and porcelain, each exhibition hall is like a window to different civilizations. Just standing in the Egyptian Pavilion and looking at the fully restored Temple of Dendur is enough to make people marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient times.

In the European Painting Gallery, Van Gogh&#39;s &quot;Wheat Field and Cypresses&quot; and Monet&#39;s &quot;Water Lilies&quot; and other works are right in front of you, and every stroke is full of vitality. The Armor and Weapons Exhibition Hall is like walking into the world of medieval knights, and those finely crafted armors seem to still tell stories on the battlefield. Even if you spend a whole day, you still feel that time is not enough. Every time you enter an exhibition hall, you can find new surprises and you are reluctant to leave.

One of the must-see attractions when traveling to the United States. The process of landing on the island is also very interesting. The photos taken around the island are very good. The staff on the boat have a good service attitude. There is also a museum on it. We spent a wonderful afternoon there.

There&rsquo;s something magical about seeing the Empire State Building in real life&mdash;it feels like stepping into a movie. The architecture is stunning, and it stands so proudly over the city. I caught myself just looking up for a while, taking it all in. Definitely one of those New York moments that stays with you.
