The Museum of Modern Art, otherwise known as the MoMA and located in 53rd street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in New York City, is currently one of the largest and most influential modern art museums in the world today, where some of the best works of some of the world's most renowned modern artists are currently on display.
During my recent trip to New York, I've had the chance to pay a visit to this museum, and this post shall be the first of two posts documenting my visit to two of the several famous museums in New York (the other being The Metropolitan Museum of Art). Here's a glimpse of the museum, as well as some of the thousands of interesting artworks on display by some of the best artists in the world today.
