Museum of modern art
Museum of Modern Art, also known as MoMA, was the first museum to devote its collection entirely to the modern movement. The museum was founded in 1929 by three public citizens, Lillie P. Bliss, Mary Quinn Sullivan and Abby Aldrich Rockefeller. The works in the museum collection date from the 1880s to the present day and include many icons of modern and contemporary art. From an initial gift of eight prints and one drawing, the permanent collection has grown to encompass more than 100,000 works in a variety of mediums. The museum is initially located in Manhattan at 53rd street. Due to its growth the museum is currently undergoing major renovation and expansion, thus it has been move to a temporary location at 33rd street in Queens. One Sunday afternoon I went to visit the museum at its Queens location.

Walking through the gallery I came across a little room with a glass showcase. It looks like a shape of flag with little red line across. Most of his work is in oil paint on canvas. It makes learning much more fun and interesting. The environment of the gallery was quite cheerful. The hallway leads to the main lobby and the ticket both while the stairs leads to the mezzanine. The pictures also contain little variety of color yet there are matching of colors that make the paintings to stand out. The theme varies from constructions, sculptures, paintings and projects.
