Photos cred to Chloe Kim

The Whitney Museum of American Art is located in 99 Gansevoort Street in Manhattan. The paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, and films in the Whitney Museum are mainly 20^th and 21^st century American art. The collection is more than 21,000 pieces which were created by more than 3,000 artists.

             The museum opens at 10:30am every day except Tuesdays, which is the museum’s weekly closing day. The museum closes at 6pm every day except Fridays and Saturdays, which closes at 10pm.

             I went to the Whitney museum last Sunday. The museum presented the Silent Eye, which was directed by Amiel Courtine-Wilson featuring Min Tanaka and Cecil Talyor. The museum also presented lots of pieces and posters about Cecil Taylor and his performance.

             Moreover, I liked the prints of Ethel Scull 36 Times which was created by Andy Warhol. The print was consisted of 36 different pictures of women and I loved the coloring of the print. Another thing I liked about the museum was its view. In every floor of the museum, you could see a perfect view of Hudson River park pier 51 and Chelsea.

             I totally recommend all of you going to a museum and enjoying masterpieces of prominent artists on weekend.
