Museum of Modern Art – The Lowdown
The unofficial hipster of Manhattan’s museum scene, MoMa is the go-to destination for modern and contemporary art. From Mark Rothko’s abstract impressionist paintings, to Vincent van Gogh’s infamous, The Starry Night, to the pop-art works of Andy Warhol, MoMa is sure to stimulate your creative juices with its expansive offering of famous artists and valuable pieces. Checkout the current lineup of performance programs and events to add an interactive experience to your visit. For those in the know, there’s “The Armory Party” in March, celebrating the opening of Armory Arts Week. Also key among fashion folk is the spring “Party in the Garden,” frequented by the likes of Anna Wintour, Carolina Herrera, Derek Blasberg, and Agnes Gund.
No trip to MoMa is complete without a visit to the adjacent design store, which features a mix of nifty gadgets, tech goods, books, accessories, and dining ware. Potential new products are vetted against a rigorous set of criteria and then evaluated by the curatorial department before nabbing a spot on the shelves.
