Me and my nephew Jaccob Ramos at the Museum |

Ecuadorian author said "When bad habits invade the chest and mind of the early
young age all is lost for the people, but where there is a boy that exclaims
"Tyrant I am not yours” hope pulsates within the people. The MoMA is
located in Manhattan at 11 West 53 Street address, a cross between 5th and 6th
Avenue in midtown. It is a large building founded in 1923 where you can find a
permanent collection of objects and artistic expressions linked to painting,
sculpture, architecture, design and photography. The collection is oriented to
modern art (the European vanguards and their immediate antecedents) and
contemporary. MoMA also has a wide range of films, illustrated books,
engravings and media.
What to see at
MoMA? Well, what can we see in the most famous museum of modern and
contemporary art in the world? The alternatives vary depending on our
interests, but either way, it is inevitable a walk in the fourth and fifth
floor of this splendid place. In them we find an impressive display of
paintings and sculpture (3600 works), in which pieces so recognized are as
Demoiselles d'Avignon by Pablo Picasso (1907), Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh
(1889) and others of Salvador DalĂ Fernando Botero, Frida Kahlo and Andy
Warhol. Another attraction in MoMA are temporary exhibitions, film projections
or that are made on a daily basis.
The tour begins on
the ground floor where it is essential, in addition to the payment of the
ticket and then go to the wardrove, I thought “Thanks God I’m a CUNY student because even students from all
over the world get charge and for kids is free which is perfect. This operation is
essential, as it should check bags and backpacks for safety (nope, that certain
items are not allowed entry!), So as to leave safely our belongings, on the
other hand the best choice to walk without overweight inside, especially in the
winter I believe. Everyone organizes his walk through the museum to their own
devices, since there is no certain way to carry it out. The main recommendation
is to do it calmly and patiently, enjoying their rooms and resting now and then
in the places authorized to do so. MoMA also has in its facilities with spaces
for restoration. As a last suggestion you should review the programs that the
museum has to group tours, and especially for families arriving with children. MOMA is one of the major attractions of the Big Apple.
For me it was important to know what level of attention put my nephew but everything was normal until we were in the section of architecture with small models of buildings and parks that fascinated my nephew. My nephew likes to play minecraft and this was the perfect opportunity to explain about 2D and 3D dimensions. He was in the ZONE !!It was a nice experience and I will not stop educating my people so that their future will be better. Art is a vital part of the formation of mankind and without art we are nothing!!
I chose to go with
my nephew for the beautiful relationship we have and because he is in a basic learning
age and he can absorb everything like a sponge. My nephew was fascinated with the
trip since he loves to be at home with me on the weekends and it was kind of weird
for him to go on a Wednesday. The beginning of the tour was a nice starting
with reception in the de information desk. A 6 year old boy is very curious and
that quality is an advantage in a museum. We had the opportunity to see all the
floors as we were going walking around the museum. I was asking my nephew about
things he likes and does not like so I had the opportunity to explain about
art. My nephew liked the paintings and architectural area. One thing that
surprised me was that a child can read abstract art as an expert. I believe
that as we grow our mind stops growing by stress and so many things that we
care that are not as important. . One thing that
caught my attention was that my nephew said that there are paintings that made
no sense because he said that the paintings were very dry and neglected. I
explained all types of art as painting, sculpture as a form of expression of
the human being.
