Great presentation by Werner Herzog (film) and Ernst Reijseger (music) in a special theater room where you could sit on small benches, the floor or stand. The presentation, especially the music, was spellbinding. The rest of the collection was extremely disappointing, slightly above the worst collection we've seen -- at the modern art museum in Barcelona.

We visited the Whitney for a Sunday afternoon activity. While I do not relate to the art that they have, the display areas were sparse. What we could see of their collection is disappointing to those of use not imbued with the contemporary art scene.

I love the Whitney - a museum in NYC dedicated to American art. It's in a concrete modern structure on Madison Ave in the 70s which is incongruous with the neighborhood but it works. The Biennial happens every 2 years (duh) and this year's is pretty interesting. There are fewer large installations and many more performances. One artist, Dwan Kasper,... More

we visited the biennial and it was a lovely experience. you can tour the museum in two hours or so. we especially enjoyed the room of embroidered art.
