When I’m in New York City one of my favorite places to visit is the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). So I was excited to see that MoMA had released a free app for the iPhone/iPod Touch. I downloaded and installed and was not disappointed. Wow it’s actually pretty good! Now I can carry MoMA with me where ever I go. Literally, this is quite an app, you can search tens of thousands of works in the museum’s collection and get a fine picture and a good bit of a detailed description. If you want you can browse by floors, take a picture of a work of art or take a multimedia tour. There’s even an option to email the picture you took to a friend turning it into a postcard. This feature is obviously for rubbing it in and making a friend jealous__”see where I am.” It’s also obvious that this app can be used as a guide of the building when you are actually down at 11 West 53rd Street. The app also includes a calendar of MoMa’s upcoming exhibitions, and the ability to create a personalized play list of music to accompany you as you browse the halls. Good job MoMA!
