There is no doubt that NYC is one of the most cultural and artistic cities of the world. Sometimes you can feel overwhelmed by the offer of museums and art galleries. In my journey through NYC art scene I decided to visit the Cooper Hewitt Museum and I totally recommend it to anyone living or visiting the big apple.
The Cooper Hewitt is a museum focused in design and that is something that makes the experience unique. From the moment you get in the museum you can actually get the feeling that you are going into a place full of freedom, exploration and creativity.
These are the reasons why you should visit the Cooper Hewitt Museum:
1. It has an amazing location in front of Central Park in the Upper East. The museum's mansion has amazing wood architecture and big spaces that have been filled with innovative design pieces.
2. You can create your own gallery of the pieces you like the most. Once you enter the museum you receive an interactive pen. Within all the functions you can scan all the pieces you like the most. Then, when you get home you can get into a specific web page, insert a personal code and see all the pieces you scanned in the gallery.
3. You can create your own designs. Using the interactive pen you can browse different materials and forms in order to create different designs in certain screens. This is a chair I designed just for fun in my visit to the museum and which I saved in my gallery.
4. They have donation-based admissions on Saturday's from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. So you can have this amazing experience and save money. What more can you ask for?
