For his inaugural exhibition with Hauser & Wirth in New York, William Kentridge presents his acclaimed nine-episode film series ‘Self-Portrait as a Coffee Pot’ and more than forty-five drawings integral to its creation alongside a group of sculptural works. This immersive installation will occupy two floors of the gallery’s 22nd Street building and is the first time the drawings from the film series will be on view to the public. Transforming the first floor into a space evocative of the artist’s own working environment and highlighting the integral relationship between drawing and sculpture throughout the second floor, ‘A Natural History of the Studio’ invites visitors to step into Kentridge’s creative process and explore the complex ways in which his work reveals truths about the ways we think, live and relate to one another.

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 today

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.

Rockefeller Center

A must-visit spot in NYC! Rockefeller Center is not just iconic&mdash;it&rsquo;s also incredibly functional. Walking through the building is a great experience, with beautiful architecture, vibrant public spaces, and plenty of food options in and around the concourse. One of the best features is the subway station right in the lower level, making it super easy to get to. And of course, it&rsquo;s home to my favorite observation deck in the city&mdash;Top of the Rock. The views are unbeatable!
