If you ever find yourself bored in NYC...

If you ever find yourself in NY with time to kill, these are my favorite art experiences in the area. They will require a car and a good amount of driving, but they are beyond worth it IMHO.

I was not thoroughly embarrassed! Just a little bit. Once, maybe twice. ;)

You found some really amazing things up here hon. :)

truly, the best flow and siting of any museum I have ever been to

My mind boggles at even noticing something like that, let alone knowing how it would compare to other museums.

I'm just sayin'.

LOL. I had two summer internships at art museums during high school and college. I don't think it's something which everyone notices or even has to, but I do think that thoughtful organizations of art can subconsciously enhance the viewer's experience.

The Pepsi gardens are not arranged explicitly by era, region, media, or any other traditional theme, and that frees the viewer to experience the interplay of pieces like a well-written book more than a textbook. I found the relationships subtly playful, but I have an active imagination. :D

I've wanted to visit Storm King ever since I saw an Andy Goldsworthy documentary about his work there.

I think you'd love it! :D
