“Encounters in the Milky Way” at the American Museum of Natural History
Embark on an interstellar adventure at the American Museum of Natural History’s planetarium show, “Encounters in the Milky Way”. Featuring stunning visuals and narration that makes astrophysics accessible, the show is an awe-inspiring journey through our galaxy. It’s great for families, date nights, or anyone who loves a good cosmic adventure, and an ideal way to spend a rainy afternoon or cool off on a hot one
“What Stands Behind the Flowers” at the Museum of Modern Art
Delve into the symbolic world of floral imagery in modern art at MoMA’s “What Stands Behind the Flowers” exhibition. The exhibit looks at how flowers have been used in modern and contemporary art, not just as pretty pictures, but as powerful symbols. It’s visually stunning and quietly profound, the kind of show you’ll want to wander through more than once. Thankfully, Icon has your back when it comes to finding parking.
