The Museum of Modern Art New York

While in New York City during Thanksgiving break, my family and I visited the Museum of Modern Art (popularly called MoMa), on West 53 Street. The art collection consists of over one hundred thousand paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, architectural models and plans and design objects, most of which were given as gifts to the museum. The museum also has many of the outstanding modern artwork, including Van Gogh’s The starry night, Picasso’s Three musicians and Dali’s The persistence of memory.

The special exhibition that day featured the works of an American artist, Jasper Johns whose art has been described as “unclear” and “enigmatic”. His most famous work is called Flag, which is a painting of the American flag mounted on three plywood panels. Many of his works are very complicated and detailed. Some have been painted in bright lively colours, while others are black and white. His paintings include many styles and types of art. In some he only uses numbers or letters to express his ideas, while in others he paints using strokes of the brush to carry the images in his mind. I found Jasper Johns’ artwork very interesting and unique.

I really enjoyed visiting MoMa. Seeing many of the original paintings that I had previously only seen in photographs or posters was truly incredible. I would definitely recommend that anyone who goes to New York City and has an interest in modern art should visit the Museum of Modern Art and see its fabulous collection.

Newseum – Washington, DC

The Newseum is a museum that explains the process of gathering and reporting the news. The museum building itself is spectacular and is located in a stunning spot: windows and a balcony at the Newseum offer a picture-perfect view of the Capitol and a panoramic view all around.

I started with a brief orientation video on the lowest floor, which advised me to start my visit to the Newseum on the sixth (top) floor. I decided that I wanted to see the 3D movie first, and that was a lot of fun. There’s no extra charge, and it is both educational and good 3D, even if the acting doesn’t win any awards. After the 3D movie, I looked through the exhibits on the Berlin Wall and the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, both of which were extremely involving.

I then went up to the sixth floor to finish the rest of the Newseum. There were highlights on every floor, and something to make me pause and read every few steps. There is a lot of technology in the Newseum, including many projection displays with well-known people discussing every aspect of the news and our culture. I have always been interested in the news, so this stuff was all fascinating. The video quality at these displays was very professional, and the sound was good, too.

I’ve been to many gift shops in museums in DC and the Newseum has one of the best. There are a lot of goods and most of them are high quality. However, prices are high – one T-shirt I liked was $20. I might have bought it if it was $10.

The Newseum surprised me. I was expecting a good museum, but it is a GREAT museum. There were literally things that made me stop and think every few feet. One example was a display of Pulitzer Prize winning photographs, all of which were absolutely terrific. From one room to the next, the Newseum showed cultural treasures in clear and interesting ways.

No doubt, the Newseum is worth visiting.
