We are visiting the famous Museum of Modern Art..................
Which houses great works by all the great masters from approx. 1900 forward........
This is one museum where the views out the window are almost as interesting as what's on the walls of the galleries..........
One of our favorite sections is furniture design.................

This is a really unusual chair.............
And some interesting chaise lounges...........
This is a cool chair that looks pretty comfortable...........

Some fence art.............
It's neat to get some views of a lovely mid-town neighborhood that you usually cannot get from street level............
A nice still life..........
