A Day at the MoMA
A day at the MoMA- Museum of Modern Art, New York City. Identified as one of the most influential museums of modern art in the world. A rainy day in New York further contributed to a perfect reason for visiting the museum and indulging in various modern art and installations.

Sometimes, a more spontaneous visit, or focusing on a specific exhibit, can be equally rewarding. It's also fascinating how this is a subject many…
