MoMA is Metropolitian museum of Arts which is one of the popular museum in NYC. It has three floor and different sections ranging from greek,roman arts to the latest modern arts.The whole museum cant be covered in a single as there are lots to visit.Once inside the museum we decided to split into groups of two and decided to see what we to liked to see.
Going to museum will be worth only if we can appriciate the art and the history behind it and it will be even better if somebody. I was lucky to have company of Vairam who is my friend's college mate. We decided to check on South Asian arts after seeing few European painting and few modern arts. Vairam has a detailed knowledge about the Chola arts,Sangam literature(read his blog).We were interested in looking specifically at the Chola bronze statues.We spent more than hour in South Indian arts room appriciating the precision,scale and accuracy with which Cholas have designed the sculpture from the finger nails to toes.
Below is the picture of Hanuman's right hand with each fingers placed differently and gives a picture of an animal when we the shadow of it.
We just covered 10% of museum, should go there sometime later to see the other exhibits.
