Tickets were free for people 25 and under so that was a plus! It was super easy to get in, they just checked my bag and scanned my ticket. Each floor seemed to have a different theme or the works of mostly one artist. There was a pretty wide array of kinds of art, including paintings, photographs, videos, audio, and sculptures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every floor was almost a whole other environment because some were a lot quieter\/louder. I felt like I had to whisper on the first floor whereas the next was pretty lively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some themes I noticed were ASL, African-American and Native American cultures. I&#8217;m sure there were others but I noticed these the most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some paintings were more modern and abstract while others were a more traditional style. I personally liked the ones with a lot of color and texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_9356-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_9356-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_9356-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_9356-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_9356-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_9356-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Loved this so much. I think glass in art is so pretty and I loved how there were so many different sizes of the orbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog post won&#8217;t let me upload the photo I have but there was this one animation of some kind of terrarium (I don&#8217;t even know how to describe it) but it was looped and had an audio that sounded like water and it was so captivating I could have sat there for an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, I enjoyed this trip. I will be honest though, I didn&#8217;t really &#8220;get&#8221; a lot of the pieces but they were still nice to look at. I liked how the plainness of the actual rooms let the art shine but I do wish there was a liiittle more to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to the Whitney Museum of American Art.
