Sleeping in the MoMA

There is nothing quite so tiring as walking through a museum–the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in this case. This guy looked like he had the right idea so I sat down next to him. Within a minute or so he began snoring rather loudly. People walking by could hear his snores so they were pulling out their cell phones to take photos.

The Persistence of Memory

One of the floors of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City contains so many famous paintings it boggles the mind. In addition to the Dali, I photographed above, there are works by Van Gogh (including “The Starry Night”), Cezanne, Rousseau, Picasso, Monet, and Matisse. Unlike the museums in Europe (or at least those found in Italy and France), the crowds are not bad and photography is allowed.
