David Bowie Is
This was a trip specifically to see the David Bowie Is exhibit. Simply fantastic! No pictures inside-sad because the outfits were amazing. The curation of the whole show was great-everyone got headphones that changed what you were listening to as you moved through the exhibit. Felt like you were in your own space until the end where they cleverly changed it to an audience/concert. Early work, collaborations with others, details on cover art, something for everyone.
Flew through SFO to get to Brooklyn and I like to check out the art exhibits. Usually something niche and not found in a typical museum, like this, the first coin-operated machines. Interesting mix of games and vending.
Early vending machines
We took a red-eye, arriving on the 4th which meant the place we were going to brunch was closed-sad! Had to eat deli sandwiches in the park :) Then to the Brooklyn Museum where there was already a line for tickets-it is basically sold out-so glad we purchased in advance! After the Bowie exhibit we ate at the cafe and checked out other art.
This gets the most views as it is on the way to the main restrooms. Look closely and you can see it is a modern work.
Had to check out the Egyptian section. I've been to a lot of Egyptian art exhibits and when I walked into the room I made a beeline for this because I'd never seen anything like it before and it just popped.
Ah ha-it is a new interpretation-love it! I have a new artist of interest.
Egyptian board games!
Tiny objects that caught my eye.
Mummies! I didn't any photos of a couple of other great exhibits. The first was the theme Blue-neat idea and excellent execution. Second, Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party. I've been interested for a while and man was it great to see it in person.
Back to the airport! We hung out on the rooftop-highly recommended! Found another art exhibit to check out, love how airports have become a place to drop a culture oasis.
Found the Tiny cupcakes by Melissa-so excited-first had these a decade ago and took a terrible photo. Just the right size for a taste.
