Be sure to read the entire schedule below to avoid confusion on Saturday. Print it and bring it with you. It was updated on Thursday, July 10th.
It'll be AWESOME!
Schedule (there have been changes since Wednesday, July 9. Sorry for confusion):
it's going to be hard to stay together as we view the Museum because we are not getting a guided tour. I do have some strategies to stay together a little bit, but even if my strategies fail miserably, we will definitely be meetin' up to eat, drink & merry-make after the museum:
12:15: Enter the museum at the ground-level entrance on Fifth Avenue at 82nd Street. We are meeting at the central information desk. It's big and round. When you get to the information desk, put your back to 5th Avenue: we will meet to your RIGHT. I am 5'1" with brown hair and brown eyes and will probably be wearing a baseball cap. If you do not see me, call me at [masked]. (Bring my # just in case!)
12:30: We will purchase tickets at the admissions desk.
1:00-3:10: See the exhibits! Complete schedule is below! We will have a half-hour at each exhibit, separated by a cushion of travel time -- see schedule below. Bring this schedule with you, so we can all try to move from exhibit to exhibit at the same time, if you like. If you get lost at any time, ask one of the guards where the exhibit is.
Schedule of Exhibits
1:00-1:30: Superhero Exhibit
1:50-2:20: Pop Art
2:40-3:10: Rooftop Exhibit (the weather looks like it'll be nice)
3:30: Eatin', drinkin', 'n merry-makin' in the Museum cafeteria (optional, of course)
***
Hooray! We're going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. (There will be no guided tour on this visit)
At the Museum, we'll see these exhibits (to learn more about each, you can visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art.)
1. "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy," which explores "fashion and its ability to empower and transform the human body." Come see what Superman, Wonderwoman, and the Hulk wore, and how their fashions are reflections of art and our culture.
2. "Pop Art: Works on Paper," an "American art movement that began in the 60's and appropriated images, techniques, and materials from mass-media and popular culture and presented them in bold, graphic formats. Notable members of the movement included the painters Robert Indiana, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, Andy Warhol, and Tom Wesselmann, and the sculptor Claes Oldenburg."
3. "Jeff Koons on the Roof," If the weather is good, we'll go up on the roof to see Jeff Koons' sculptures ? there's even one that looks like one of those dog balloons that clowns make ? and take in the gorgeous view of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline.
