MOMA website and exhibits

My initial impression of MOMAs website was quite surprising as someone whos first time seeing the website. From just scrolling through the homepage, it was fascinating to find, see and hear the exhibits that are currently running. The website did not feel confusing or overwhelming, which surprised me because museums sometimes present information in a complicated way. Instead, MoMAs website felt welcoming and easy to understand, even for someone who does not regularly visit art museums online. The exhibits that are currently running at MOMA are A Retrospective by Ruth Asawa, Wifredo Lam: When I dont Sleep, I Dream, Ideas of Africa: Portraiture and political imagination, and Artists choice: Arthur Jafa-Less Is Morbid.What stood out to me was how different each exhibition felt, even though they are all part of the same museum. This showed me that MoMA does not focus on just one style of art, but instead highlights a wide range of artistic voices and perspectives. The themes of these exhibitions are sculpture, painting, photography and video. Each medium allows artists to communicate their ideas in different ways. For example, sculpture often focuses on form and space, while photography and video can capture moments in time or tell visual stories. This variety helped me understand how modern artists choose the medium that best fits their message. If I had to choose an exhibit that I would like to visit the most, it would be The Many Lives of the Nakagin Capsule Tower because it reminds me of how theres different paths that people can take in life. Before working on this assignment, I honestly did not spend much time thinking about museum websites or how they function. I mostly thought of museums as physical spaces rather than online ones.
