Another art museum.
I saw some pretty nice paintings today at the Metropolitan museum of Art. It is a strange feeling to see for example Monet and Klimt's work live : you know so much about the paintings and oh, it's just great!
My favorite exhibition at the museum was one about fashion trough time. "The model as Muse: Embodying Fashion." They had big rooms decorated so that you knew the decade from both the interior and the music. They also had old Vogue covers and a lot of photos everywhere.
In the room for our time, they played nirvana, and it was a lot of dark colors on the walls. Then they had all the supermodels' names painted in white graffiti all over the place. In the middle of the room stood three very skinny and pale models on a stage. It was a completely different feeling compared to the other rooms, where everything was glamorous and the models looked happy.

Art on the roof
Some Monet. ( I LOVED the fact that you could take pictures of some paintings! )
I know you can find better pictures of this painting anywhere, but it is nice to have
one of your own.
Van Gogh
Klimt
We had lunch at the Austrian Museum and I had a delicious Rum Cake for
dessert. Unfortunately we didn't have time to look around. I would have
loved to, since they have a lot of Klimt's work.
All in all, this was a very nice way to spend my last day in the states!
