The Entrance of the Museum

Dear Fellow Readers,

On November 2, 2016, was the day I went to visit the Cooper-Hewitt Museum. It was my very first time and I have to said I LOVE IT. The museum is very different from the rest of the museum I have been to. It looks like a library, full of a lot of fun and interactive artwork to look at. In the museum, there were a lot of exhibit showing like Scraps: Fashion, Textiles, and Creative Reuse, By the People: Designing A Better American and Immersion room. And that just naming a few.

From floor to floor, there is artwork to look at. Even when you are walking up the stairs, there is something to see. The artwork that Cooper-Hewitt was showing while you walk up the stair was to see if you can afford to live in certain parts of New York.  For me, I learn I can not afford to live in New York at all by myself. New York is very expensive. I am below the line was is scary. Note to self, find a place in the US that won’t break the bank.

On the second floor, was a room with a big giant screen that covers most of the room. It’s called the Immersion room.

The Immersion Room

The immersion room is where they show all wallpapers from the Museum’s permanent collection and see them projected on the walls from floor to ceiling.  You can even create your own designs which are pretty cool.Me in the immersion room … I Love this room!

On the third floor is where they show one of their biggest exhibits they have and that…

By the people: Designing a Better American is an exhibition of many awesome designs from throughout the United States and across borders. Here they ask certain individuals to challenges American’s social and economic problem. Seeing all the design in this exhibition, there is one that captures my eye. It the one with the libraries. I love to hang out in a library in general. But the designs for these libraries are so cool and different. It makes me want to move to D.C to just go to one of these libraries.This vision was done by a big group of architects to reinvigorate neighborhoods by transforming library branches into interactive civic hubs. Deteriorating libraries were renovated and made brand new for the surrounded communities.

My experiences visiting the Cooper-Hewitt museum was great. And I suggest my fellow readers to take a day and visit this beautiful museum. You won’t regret it.
