Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
On Friday, June 7, the Cross Cultural Internship Program (CCIP, www.fusia.net) exchange visitors took advantage of UNIQLO Free Friday at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Every Friday, from 4 to 8 p.m., admission to the world-renowned art museum is free to all visitors. The museum has millions of visitors every year.
As one of the foremost collections of modern art in the world, MoMA is not only a landmark in New York City, but an unparalleled cultural experience. The exchange visitors, who are all university students across Eastern Asia, saw some of the most influential modern works of art in a variety of mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography, and much more.
Hui Lun from Singapore is one of the leaders in this activity. She said, "The experience I had in MOMA was breathtaking, we manage to see the different artworks from artists such as 'The Starry Night' by Vincent Van Gough and even the famous 'Campbell soup cans' by Andy Warhol. I think all of us really enjoyed our time there and we all have a chance to go around and admire the different paintings and art pieces around.”
Another leader, Gary Lo studies at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He commented, "MOMA is a great place that inspire people, and teaching art. It change people perception towards art. The conventional thinking of art is drawing or painting, but MOMA tells us that art can be everything around us like furnitures, cars, helicopters, bikes etc. Furthermore, we had an enjoyable evening and we all have a chance to discuss art with different people who are interesting in art."
Hanyuan, a student from Education University of Hong Kong stated, "When I went into the museum, I was surprised of the creators’ great image skills and creativity. The most interesting section is the painting shows which are on the 5th floor. Plenty of visitors crowed in front of the famous arts. I was so lucky that I could watch the well-know works closely."
New York City is famous for its respected art museums, and the visiting students were thoroughly impressed by MoMA’s diverse, often eccentric exhibits. CCIP is dedicated to providing a wide range of cultural and civic opportunities to its participants. Other activities this summer will include attending Broadway shows, volunteering at Cunningham Park, and meeting with government officials.
