A very nice exhibit on Rococo movement. For those of you thats not familiar with Rococo, its pretty much the mother of Art Nouveau movement.

Afterwards, we went to the most expensive museum to get into - New York MOMA. ticket cost 20 dollars. But man, if you like modern art, I do have to say this is the best in the world. It has all the text book art works and more. This is Mike's mom, checking out a tree.

On the 5th floor, it had a show on technology integrating with nature. There's one tiny robot, no longer than the thumb nail, that could fly. Scary stuff.
