So in the past few months I've been seeing a lot of photos on Facebook of MOMA's Rain Room and I've been hearing about how cool it is. I've also heard it's overrated and over-hyped, but I still wanted to go. Today a bunch of us went there at 1 pm, hoping we would get there early enough to beat the crowd and wait a little less. When we got there, the guy at the gate said the waiting line has been over capacity. Since 9 am... The exhibit opened at 10:30 and it was already over capacity at 9.... We were only able to go to the viewing section where we walked around the rain area, and the wait was only 10 minutes. We didn't get to experience walking through it without getting wet, but we were able to see other people do it... The line outside was so long, but there were only about ten people under the rain area at a time. We got our share of pictures, doing whatever we could to make it look like we were actually under the water. After the Rain Room we went to the actual MOMA exhibits and then just bummed around Rockefeller Center and Bryant Park. It was a pretty chill and fun day!
There weren't even that many people on line, the line just moves very slowly...
We're inside!
Viewing from the side only. :(
But it looks like we were actually under the water.
The Rain Room's actually a pretty cool idea.
Inside MOMA!
The gang.
This reminded me of Ikea.
Andy Warhol paintings.
Minion buddies.
