New York MoMA Review – A Museum to See with Emotion, Not Eyes

#JuneTravelSupport #NewYorkTravel #moma If you want to fill your day in New York with art, MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) is a place you can’t miss. More than just “seeing” famous works, it’s a place where you can experience the emotion of encountering art itself. The biggest advantage of MoMA is that you can see the works in your textbooks in real life. From Van Gogh’s “Starry Night,” Monet’s “Water Lilies,” Andy Warhol’s “Campbell’s Soup Cans,” to Picasso’s “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon”… When you stand in front of a real work, you can vividly feel the brush strokes, texture, size, and energy that you couldn’t feel when you saw it in an image. In particular, in front of Van Gogh’s work, I forgot to take pictures and just stared blankly for a long time. It felt like I was not just consuming the work, but entering the artist’s perspective and emotions at that moment. Since each floor has a different concept, I recommend taking a route that slowly goes down from the upper floor. Even if you are not familiar with art, you can visit without any burden because there are short and easy-to-understand explanations for each piece. Since photography is mostly allowed at MoMA, you can take plenty of commemorative photos after viewing. Even though there are many people, the space is spacious and well-lit, so the view is wide open. It is a place where you can feel mental freedom. MoMA is not just an art museum, but a space where my emotions and perspectives expand through art. The reason why you must visit in New York is not simply because it is famous, but because it is a place that makes you feel that art is not far away.
