While the landscape genre has long been associated with picturesque vistas, Shifting Landscapes considers a more expansive interpretation of the category, exploring how evolving political, ecological, and social issues motivate artists as they attempt to represent the world around them. Drawn from the Whitney’s collection, the exhibition features works from the 1960s to the present and is organized according to distinct thematic sections. Some of these coalesce around material and conceptual affinities: sculptural assemblages formed from locally sourced objects, ecofeminist approaches to land art, and the legacies of documentary landscape photography. Others are tied to specific geographies, such as the frenzied cityscape of modern New York or the experimental filmmaking scene of 1970s Los Angeles. Still others show how artists invent fantastic new worlds where humans, animals, and the land become one. Whether depicting the effects of industrialization on the environment, grappling with the impact of geopolitical borders, or proposing imagined spaces as a way of destabilizing the concept of a “natural” world, the works gathered here bring ideas of land and place into focus, foregrounding how we shape and are shaped by the spaces around us.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a world-class art museum located in New York City, USA. I have some brief feelings after visiting:

1. Rich collections: The Metropolitan Museum of Art has rich and diverse collections, including European and American art, African and Asian art, ancient art, etc. These collections show the development of human art and culture.

2. Exquisite artworks: Whether it is paintings, sculptures or crafts, the artworks in the museum make me feel the talent and innovative spirit of the artists.

3. Strong interactivity: There are many interactive exhibitions in the museum, which allows visitors to better understand and appreciate the artworks.

4. Strong educational: The explanations and guided tours in the museum are very detailed. For me, this is a good opportunity to learn and understand art.

5. Spacious and comfortable: The space layout of the museum is reasonable, which makes people feel very comfortable. Even when there are a lot of people, it will not feel crowded.

In general, visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a very pleasant experience, and I strongly recommend that you must go and see it if you have the opportunity.

The representative of New York, USA, has two routes to take. We went up by ferry, and there is also a speedboat, but this is the most cost-effective. We went there at 2 pm, and there were not many people, so it was just right to come back. If you go in the morning, there are more tour groups and the queue will be very long.

The first day of the New Year is a tourist, but compared to the domestic people, the queue time is reasonable. . . The roof is too windy, the 80th floor is indoor, the photo has reflection, you can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outside, overlooking the whole of New York.

Very crowded and packed with tourists. Many people are willing to take photos here. Quite closed with the Radio City and Saks Avenue.A must place to go in New York.

This was one of my favourite things to do. I would say check out the website for free entry and guided tour days. The place is lovely and not too complicated. There are balconies that offer great views for pics and Hudson river. When you are done with here you can always take a stroll to the Chelsea Market and enjoy the food and drinks. All in all this makes for a great activity even if you are a solo traveller.
