RE: Galleries & Museums in New York City - Photography
How about the Museum of Modern Arts? Is it good? I have visited it only once but that was, hmmm, maybe 15 years ago or longer, so my memory is fading. I can't remember anything I saw except maybe a toilet bowl mounted on the wall. Isn't it the first museum in the world that collects photographs as arts, or something like that?
