the weekend traveler goes to NY :) part. 2 - museums

another mission for the weekend traveler was "to visit world famous museums in NY, as much as he can". then, i visited three of them:

the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET):
http://www.metmuseum.org/home.asp

the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA):
http://moma.org/

Guggenheim Museum (in New York):
http://www.guggenheim.org/new_york_index.shtml

***
Those three are really great museums in the world for sure, but at this time my best was MoMA. i guess because i hadn't been to MoMA before. i love its atmosphere in the museum, like very spacious & open entrance through the top-ceiling, modern but traditional interior sometimes, & quit unique or modern collections / selections. i should say it's not too modern, i think.

another thing was MoMA has my favorite art works, which are Henri Rousseau's "the Sleeping Gypsy" (photo TL) & "the Dream". i didn't know that MoMA has them, & i was really grad to find them in the museum.

photo BM: Guggenheim - it was also great, but only three floors opened at that day. the outside was under construction, but very arty.
