The Monet room on the fifth floor of MOMA in New York, with its two enormous Water Lilies’ works on opposing walls, is a deeply beautiful space. You should go there.

Here’s what’s remarkable about Monet. Zoom in. Look closely. Regardless of how close or how far you gaze, you get a different painting, different scenes and subjects, and possible interpretations. It’s wild.

Follow OP’s link here, zoom in, and see for yourself.

I can't seem to zoom in because the page hijacks my scroll and has disabled zoom.


You might be able to work around this deliberate bug created by Google engineers by enabling zoom in your browser's accessibility settings. At least that's how I did it on Chrome back in the day.


Yeah. It might as well be in flash.


If you have the oppotunity you have to visit Monet's garden north of Paris.


Totally worth it to go up to the top of MOMA and gaze a while. Pro tip: you know you stayed long enough once the security guards start eyeing you suspiciously! ;-)
