Weil's work turns the stratified record inside polar ice into something you watch rather than read, deep time delivered as a slow-scrolling image. It is one of the quietest rooms at MoMA and it closes in early October, so the holiday-weekend crowd flowing toward the headline shows mostly walks straight past it. If the Midtown noise is getting to you, this is the ten minutes that fixes it.
What to expect
A darkened media presentation you can sit with rather than walk past, in one of MoMA's smaller gallery spaces. It is included with general admission and takes ten to twenty minutes. Use it as a decompression stop between the bigger exhibition floors.
Good to know
- Take the E or M to Fifth Avenue-53rd Street, or the B, D, F or M to 47-50 Streets-Rockefeller Center
- Included with general admission; no additional booking required
- It is a short stop, so slot it between two larger exhibitions rather than making a trip for it
- The space is darkened, so give your eyes a moment on entering
- Good for anyone interested in climate, data or long-duration video
- Step-free via the museum's elevators
