Spent today enjoying the works of two of the city's famous art museums. I only intended to go to one - the Metropolitan, for Beyond Babylon (though I was taken also by the premonition of Spring in the huge bouquets of pussywillows and peach blossoms in the great hall). But because the subways were messed up (again), I got a chance also to see part of the Museum of Modern Art collection which is (in facsimile) gracing the walls of the Atlantic-Pacific subway station. There's a virtual tour of the exhibit, but it's really worth seeing the works in situ and watching and listening as commuters respond - or don't.
