One of the largest museums of modern art in the world

The Museum of Modern Art is an art museum located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, on 53rd Street. MoMA has two locations in Midtown Manhattan and Queens. It is called PS1 in Queens, NY. In 1997, the museum was renovated and expanded by Japanese architect Yoshio Taniguchi. The project nearly doubled the space for MoMA's exhibitions and programs.
MoMA offers free admission every Friday night from 5:30 pm - 9 pm. You can access all the museum’s galleries and special exhibitions. UNIQLO is a sponsor of Free Friday Night now, but it has been suspended for health and safety guidelines.

MoMA exhibits modern and contemporary arts, including works of architecture and design, drawing, painting, photography, illustrated books and film. You can also enjoy most of the works online.

Current exhibitions:
Sophie Taeuber-Arp – Living Abstraction, through Mar 12
Shigeko Kubota – Liquid reality, through Feb 13
Greater New York, through Apr 18

Upcoming exhibitions:
- The Project of Independence: Architectures of Decolonization in South Asia, 1947–1985 Member Previews, Feb 17–19
- Nora Turato: pool 5, Mar 5–20, 2022
- Frédéric Bruly Bouabré: World Unbound, Mar 13–Aug 13, 2022

As you can see, MoMA shows a lot of Japanese artists’ works, as well as young and energetic ones from around the world. You should go and find your favorite works at MoMA so that you can feel the latest modern art.

My home town - Azumino

Dear Marcello,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Azumino is located in Nagano prefecture.

You will come to here in about three hours by express Train from Tokyo.

In the recommended spot, hot springs, museums and wasabi garden.

Wasabi garden is the most popular tourist place in Azumino.

I think trip's best season is early summer.

It is almost sunny and temperature is around 20 degrees in May.

Winter is very cold. Sometimes temperature becomes -10 degrees.

But you can enjoy in winter.

Because you can watch swans, and enjoy illuminations in national park in Azumino.

Please come to Azumino.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

K Maruyama
