MoMA atrium, NYC

A few weeks ago I went to MoMA for the Miro exhibit. A Pipilotti Rist installation had taken over the atrium, and I stopped to let the large-scale video projection encircle me. People sprawled about the area; children played inside a donut of cushions that had been set up in the center of the room.

Afterwards I climbed the stairs to the sixth floor galleries. The Miro was packed, and I quickly made my way through the exhibit. On the way out, I peered down into the atrium from the skywalk and took this picture. While I'm somewhat ambivalent about the atrium itself (and the architecture of MoMA on the whole), I do love the way in which the atrium allows for these views through the windows on various levels into the other galleries.
