I hope teachers are sharing some of these with their students. It would help them appreciate what goes into the making and staging of a museum. They could follow it up with the students creating four walls and putting items, (photos, memorabilia) showcasing their families. When I was teaching, in California and visiting the Getty Villa, I showed how mosaics, frescoes and sculptures were made. The students had a great appreciation when they visited. I loved seeing them point out to one another what they learned. Museums are wonderful, magical places. Thank you to everyone involved.
Hah!! I've ALWAYS wondered how you get names on the wall so perfectly at exhibitions. It's a freakin silk screen print!!! Who knew?!
These are extremely interesting, thanks for the nice insight.
I almost felt like part of rhe Crew ....Thank you
In the miniature work of Ernst's "Microbe" titled "Adam and Eve expelled from the Garden of Eden" shows no figures in it because...well...they've been expelled already 🤔✌️😉😁🤗; so I think that's the punchline....very clever 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I love this series! I would love to work at the MoMA, it's becoming a dream of mine.
I cry watching these. All of these peoples must love going to work every single day, including the people that help with the mounting, installation, lighting, restoration, or cleaning! What a phenomenal place. What phenomenally creative and precise people that work there! It’s always been on my bucket list to save up and travel to specifically visit the MOMA. It would require many days to truly enjoy all of the exhibitions and I will, one day, spend an entire week in NY just for this! Florida has nothing comparable to the incredible Met. Thank you to them for providing these interesting and beautiful videos.
I love love love the sound on these videos. KZread is so full of noise. Background music. Fast cuts. Soundediting on animations. Static noise and bad sound quality. This is so relaxingly calm. A few footsteps, maybe a distant voice, but otherwise just the serenity of the museum - a deep background silence. You can really hear the volume of the rooms.
thanks for sharing this video, how to be part of the beautiful museum even if I am from ROMA it. , it makes me feel at MOMA
Thanks for the show MOMA.

👍🏽They’ve got to make more.
This reminds me of "The Office", but the MoMA version. I would totally watch that show.
I love these. I never knew how they painted those names on the walls. Screen printing? Why was that one guy not wearing gloves?
super
What Mitchell & Webb would do with this incredible material?
Ya ya? Ya ya.
