The Museum of Modern Art is finally leaving Queens and Queens says “don’t go!”

MoMA QNS was a point of pride for Queens boosters like ourselves, but as Jen points out, now that it’s $20 to visit MoMA, it’s unlikely we’ll go more than perhaps once to see the new place (and then probably only on a free Friday evening . . .). Relevant quote:

As Melissa Dale, a first-year student at the Parsons School of Design who was visiting the museum’s Queens outpost last week, said: “If it cost us $20, we probably wouldn’t come. It’s, like, food for three days for us.”

Exactly!
