The exhibit at the museum itself looked like your stereotypical museum art exhibit, jarring theme shifts as you walk through the exhibit, and an obvious focal point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the floor we were on seemed to exclusively have dozens of chairs on display, most of which you shouldn&#8217;t sit on. some chairs seemed to actually be art, not looking like a factory made chair, but most were just plain rocking chairs or children&#8217;s chairs, and a theatre showing transitions between different black and white films by means of doors, and there was even a plain white folding chair hanging on the wall as&#8230; art?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t see any meaning to the exhibit other than to show me a bunch of chairs, physical or painting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did see one work of art, a giant painting of a storm about to befall a mountain range, that I liked. It was more than just a landscape as it showed hunters chasing deer, with an already dead one nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, I neither enjoyed or hated the trip. It was definitely something different, but I wish there was a wider variety of exhibits for us to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/10\/image-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/10\/image-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/10\/image-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/10\/image-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/10\/image.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When they said &#8220;Night at the Museum&#8221;, the idea I had about the night was more, &#8220;Explore a museum at night&#8221; and less, &#8220;Be confined to one floor of the museum for 2 hours staring at chairs&#8221;.
