(MoMA) The Museum of Modern Art in New York (Caution: Nanny guide needed!)

📍Detailed address The Museum of Modern Art, New York 🚉Transportation guide: Distance: 2 minutes walk from Hilton Hotel in downtown New York . Distance from United Nations Headquarters: about 30 minutes' walk. Distance to Metropolitan Museum of Art is about a 40-minute walk. Don't ask me why I only give estimated walking time. If you go there, you'll know why. ❤️Recommendation reason: The Museum of Modern Art in New York is one of the most important museums of modern and contemporary art in the world, on par with the Tate Modern in London and the Centre Pompidou in France. Different from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, besides the difference in time and space, this museum is an important institution that incorporates photography art into its collection and also begins to collect design works. Therefore, it is a holy place for contemporary art designers to visit. 🌟Highlight features: The museum was established in the summer of 1929 by three women, Lillie P. Bliss, Mary Quinn Sullivan, and Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, and opened to the public for visitation. Among them, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, the wife of John D. Rockefeller Jr., played an indispensable role in leading the Rockefeller family onto the path of contemporary art collection. Among the family of museums crowned with the title of modern art today, the Museum of Modern Art in New York stands out as a leader. Its level of fame is such that it can be referred to simply as "the Museum of Modern Art" without the need for a location to distinguish it. 👍Most recommended: The entire fourth floor of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York is dedicated to the special exhibition "The Long Run" (November 11, 2017 - November 4, 2018), showcasing the works of artists aged 45 and above who have persisted in their creative pursuits. This is a competition between art and the elderly, seeking a deeper personal understanding of innovation. One of the exhibition halls in the 17 galleries is dedicated to the works of Philip Guston, equivalent to a small solo exhibition for him. This is the content shown in image four of the accompanying pictures. His artistic legend spans half a century, and his paintings - especially those created in his later years with unrestrained and intuitive creativity - have had a profound impact on several generations of artists. "The abstract art we inherit is sometimes incomprehensible and pathetic. Painting is spontaneous, pure, and created for oneself, so we should abandon fixed concepts and break through the limits of painting. But painting is also 'impure', and it is precisely through transforming the impure that painting can develop and continue. We are the creators of painting, but also its slaves," said Philip Guston. Therefore, it can also be said to be the most suitable, the most suitable place. 👍Most recommended: In the high-ceilinged second floor hall, Monet's famous painting "Water Lilies" extends over 50 meters on the white wall. The higher you go, the more you will be awed by even more magnificent works of art. Definitely a must-visit background for most tourists.
