I liked most about the museum were all the paintings, including the Starry Night, by Vincent Van Gogh. The artwork was very beautiful and some of them had a lot of realism while others were made by turning everyday items into shapes we would never see like the painting "Guitar" by Pablo Picasso. Also, I had a lot of fun in the Art Lab with my family and I recommend this place as a must to see when visiting New York.

The Museum should have had a separate line for people who already had tickets booked online. Instead we had to stand in line all the way around the block in pouring rain for 20 minutes with everyone including people who didn't have advance tickets and had to buy them when they got inside.

Ticket experience is very easy, no problem at all. Just anticipate the lines...at 10:30 am the line for MoMa was starting from the previous block! So just be mindful of that and be there earlier than your booked time slot. The museum is absolutely amazing :star_struck:, amazing art pieces and collection. Don't forget to have a coffee or lunch at the Cafe on the last floor! Amazing carrot cake!

Starry Night

Vincent van Gogh
Starry Night is a mesmerizing oil painting that captures Van Gogh's emotional intensity and swirling imagination. Depicting a starry night over a serene village, the artist's bold brushwork and vibrant colors convey a sense of wonder and turbulence, making it one of his most iconic masterpieces.

The Brothel of Avignon

Pablo Picasso
This groundbreaking artwork marks the inception of Cubism. Picasso's "Brothel of Avignon" or "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" portrays five women with angular faces and disjointed bodies, challenging traditional notions of perspective and representation, and revolutionizing modern art.

Campbell's Soup Cans

Andy Warhol
This series of 32 paintings showcases Warhol's fascination with consumer culture. Each canvas features a different variety of Campbell's Soup, elevating everyday objects to art. It embodies the Pop Art movement's embrace of mass-produced imagery and commentary on American society.

The Persistence of Memory

Salvador Dalí
Dalí's surreal masterpiece, "The Persistence of Memory," features melting clocks draped over a desolate landscape. Symbolizing the fluidity of time and the subconscious mind, the painting captivates viewers with its dreamlike quality and enigmatic symbolism.

Water Lilies

Claude Monet
Monet's Water Lilies series exemplifies his impressionist style and fascination with nature. The paintings depict serene water lily ponds with shimmering reflections, capturing the interplay of light, color, and atmosphere in a way that immerses viewers in a tranquil world.

Number 31, 1950

Jackson Pollock
This painting showcases Pollock's unique "drip" painting technique, where he poured and dripped paint onto a canvas spread on the floor. The result is a dynamic and chaotic composition, reflecting the artist's innovative approach to abstract expressionism.
