A Beautiful Retrospective

At 8.5 x 10 x 1.25 and weighing in at over 4 lbs, there are almost 500 pages of full color photos of mostly works that have been displayed at the MOMA, and also of various personalities who have attended the museum. Providing some additional perspective is a section of 11 essays. even the cover is a work in itself, with raised dots on a flexible kind of rubbery material. A great overview of the MOMA.
