Visit to Whitney Museum of American Art



A museum coordinator explaining the exhibits around.

Young children, on a museum tour, were taught how to appreciate the art pieces and installations in the museum. Some parents accompanied their children.


This real-like structure never failed to fool anyone. She appeared so real. Look at the detailed work on her hand and face. Simply amazing.

Many of such paintings could be found on the website. The museum generously made cards of such paintings which were distributed to students on museum programmes.


These were not picture frames. They were craftwork made in the shape of frames and aesthetically displayed on the wall.

Two of the installations in the gallery. Huge works were lifted on top of the elevators to reach the higher floor.




Putting candles and toys together as an art piece.

The museum encouraged hands-on experience in art,writing and new ideas. Visitors were invited to doodle on the blackboard and shared their thoughts.



Tea at Nearby Lady M cake shop. Must try.

  1. Hi
    Wow... beautiful shots and great introduction to the museum... esp to someone who has yet been there.

    Like the installation that fooled almost everyone. Ah! I was fooled... when so many miles away :)

  2. You should hear what the museum shared about how some of the artists completed their paintings that spread over a few years and some happenings at the museum. Unbelievable!
