Another full day of walking. We took the subway uptown to the west side and walked across Central Park to "Museum Mile" on the east side. The weather has been fantastic, although a little chilly in the morning.
The first stop was the Gugggenheim. The modern art, particularly the featured exhibit, was a little strange for me, but the building is worth the visit if nothing else. It is a Frank Lloyd Wright design, and quite impressive. As you wind your way up the spiral runway, the sun lit atrium is to your left and the featured exhibits are along the interior walls to the right.
We did enjoy some of the permanent collection. Lunch in the museum cafe was quite nice as well. I assume it to is a Wright design, or at least Wright inspired.
Next stop was the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum a block away and housed in the the old Andrew Carnegie mansion. Here Vera works on her own design in an interactive electronic exhibit.
It also has an interesting display on recycled textiles.
New Yorkers enjoying a beautiful afternoon in the park as we ambled home. New York pizza tasted really good for dinner!
