Apologies that I've been posting less recently. I've been a little more domesticated in the last couple of weeks, lots of cooking, gymming and hanging in our lovely local area. I really love it here in Midtown, it's constantly buzzy and lively and we're so close to everything. We're heading to our new place in Brooklyn in just over a week though, so I'll be getting my fill of the museums around here before we move. I'm off to the Metropolitan Museum of Art tomorrow and am currently in possession of a friends Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) membership card, so will explore every corner. For anyone that doesn't know, MoMA is essentially the New York equivalent of the London Tate Modern… Except it's not free, costing a wince inducing $25 for adult entry. Happily my membership card means I get in for free. This is great for me, as I can really only do galleries for a couple of hours at a time, so expect more posts next week. I've only done the 2nd floor and garden so far!

Before we get to that though, looky! Plasticy David Beckham's have been springing up all over the city. Women everywhere are aflutter (not me though, he's not my bag at all).

A friend waxing lyrical at a speakers spot next to a huge bottle of ketchup… As you do.

Obama condoms. Erm, not who I'd want to think about but yay to doin' it safely!

As a tribute to the late French sculptor Niki de Saint Phalle, a selection of her work is currently on display on Park Avenue. These jolly ladies are my favourites.

In the garden at MoMA, which is kinda self explanatory. The little girl in the corner was running around and around it gleefully. Clearly a fan of the artists work.

Part of a collection called Beyonsense. Sadly, nothing to do with Beyonce, though that is how I am going to start describing any of her work which I consider less than I expect from her, “That new tune is such Beyonsense!”.

Me reflected in an Eva Rothschild sculpture, “Within You, Without You”. This is really it for the photos I got, as I mostly wandered with my camera in my bag. I also spent a lot of time in a Quay brothers exhibit, which didn't allow photos. I'd never heard of them before but their work is trippy, creepy and extensive covering a wide range of media. Their most famous work 'Street of Crocodiles' is worth a view if you've got a decent tolerance for creepy puppets.
