Museum of Modern Art (MOMA)
11 W 53rd St, New York, East Rutherford,
Not impressed. Much of the museum is abstract contemporary art that is not impressive at all and there's a floor dedicated to achetecture that is all PICTURES! Yes, you are paying to look at pictures of buildings! Skip this so-so museum and see The MET (Metropolitan Museum of Art) or the Guggenheim, both MUCH better that the over-rated MoMA.

In your eyes you'll see your kid(s) as the the leader of the day, because of all the walking and pulling you'll have to do in order to keep up with them.

Center for Contemporary Arts
220 Cypress St, Abilene, Abilene,
Center supports local member and non-member artists and that investment is returned in spades. Local talent and occassionally a more national name bring life and constant energy to a place that you might not expect to find in a town like Abilene. Hidden gem... Young or old, but usually college age, check out this gallery on ArtWalk night, second Thursday of every month around 6 or 7 pm. Non-profit staffed with a truly capable, caring director, staff with growing potential, and a board with conviction and a growing ability to raise funds.
