The International Motorcycle Show!
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 | 2 Comments
I love motorcycles. If I wasn’t a pocket-sized person and I had better upper body strength, I’d totally get my motorcycle license. I got the itch when we PoppedUp at the Motorcycle Safety School for a quick lesson. But, for now, I’ll just go with my dad to the Harley-Davidson store when he needs to get something for his bike and pretend that I can ride one. This month is the International Motorcycle Show at the Javits Center! From Jan 20th-22nd, spend the day looking at the latest bikes, dirt bikes, ATVs and scooters, as well as some vintage beauties. They’ve got some pretty sweet things going on there too – you can watch the Smag Bros perform never before seen stunts at their Smag Bros Stunt Show, digitally design your own bike at Kawasaki Design-A-Bike, test and improve your Motorcycle IQ at the Learning Curve, take a trip to the future and see some crazy bike designs at the Dream Pavilion, or celebrate the history of motorcycles at A Century Of Motorcycling. Theres a whole lot going on, so to type it all would be insane. Once again, it’s being held at the Javits Center [655 W.34th St] on Jan 20th [12-9PM], Jan 21st [9AM-9PM], and Jan 22nd [9AM-5PM.] For more information or to see ticket prices, visit their website by CLICKING HERE.
The New American Wing at The Met!
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 | 1 Comment
The Met got a makeover! Well, not a whole makeover, but a brand new wing! Say hello to the New American Wing Galleries for Painting, Sculpture, and Decorative Arts. Opening January 16th, this brand new installation is based on the history of American art from the 18th Century through the 20th Century. The renovation on the second floor consisted of fixing up and enlarging 26 galleries. They added coved ceilings and skylights for natural light flow, but a huge plus was all the room they gained from the renovation, which makes space for the art to be placed and viewed in chronological order! The New American Wing is 30,000 sq feet, which allows the whole installation to be set up on one floor for the first time. The centerpiece of the whole exhibit is the famous painting Washington Crossing The Delaware, which sets the tone for the rest of the exhibit. Colonial Portraits, Civil War Art, the West, and American Impressionism are just a few of the themes found in this installation. Don’t get me wrong, I love Europe, but I really enjoy learning about American History so I’m excited for this exhibit to open. The New American Wing Galleries opens on January 16th at the Met!
