If you’re ever in New York City, and want to see a really cool museum, check out the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). The Met is a more classic old school type museum (still amazing to see as well), where the MOMA has a more modern flare with a wide range of exhibits. Here is my favorite painting, Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. The first time I saw it at the MOMA, I was a teenager on a class field trip. I was amazed by the fact that this image which I had seen in my history and art books was sitting there right before my eyes. Not a print, but the original. I was also surprised that it was so small. I had assumed it would have been much larger than it actually is. Here is a high-resolution stock photo of  Vincent Van Gogh’s famous Starry Night painting from my most recent trip into the city.
