There were several animals not seen (bears et al) and other displays unavailable because work was being done. There was a gay flag flying next to the American flag which I find personally insulting for a public institution to push their political agenda on mostly children. Get real

The Museum Of Maoder Art was a wonderful experience for me and my 8 year twin boys. It was way bigger than I expected it to be and there was so much to see! Saw some really beautiful art as well as some interactive art instillations that the kids really loved. The Museum Store also had some amazing gems and we made a few purchases. I will definitely be coming back, it was a fun interactive learning experience for all of us.

I enjoyed the various artworks displayed around the museum, although my absolute favourite was the retro-design and pop culture section located at the northern part of the 3rd floor. It featured a walkman, first Mac PC, and a first moka Express along with various facts about these pop culture icons

The experience was wonderful. From the moment we ordered the ticket through the very user-friendly hall, the possibility of bringing wine into the hall was wonderful. The audience cooperated, the perfect direction, the talented cast, we enjoyed every moment. Thank you.

With the pre-booked ticket you still have to wait in the same line with everybody else before you get into the museum. But it goes ahead pretty fast. In the MoMa most people seem to go for the most famous paintings, while it's more acceptable in the other rooms. It's crowded anyway. However, it's a great museum and absolutely worth a visit.

I always enjoy MOMA, especially the large collection of Impressists. This time in addition to my usual favorites I really enjoyed the Turning Point Exhibition. It was fascinating to read about the thoughts and intentions behind these innovative designs. The exhibit was also displayed in a very enticing manner with each exhibit allocated its own mini stage.

The museum is phenomenal that goes without saying I can walk around there for hours. But I am taken aback about how loud it is how everybody seems to be comfortable to have full conversations. When I'm at the Met or the Whitney, I can hear my heartbeat. I really had a hard time. Enjoying everything with how loud it was. I also think you should make some efforts to organize the crowd around starry night. I'm not gonna pretend to have the answer. But putting it in the corner seems like maybe not the way to go. I had a few interactions with the staff and they were polite, respectful and very helpful. Nothing but great things to say about them.

There were several animals not seen (bears et al) and other displays unavailable because work was being done. There was a gay flag flying next to the American flag which I find personally insulting for a public institution to push their political agenda on mostly children. Get real
