Hitchcock - Pyscho, Edward Hopper & Cocktails on the Roof of the Metropolitan Museum of ARt!

​Fairfield County "It!"
had a delightful time viewing

  Cornelia Parker's
Transitional Object
(Psycho Barn)
on the
roof top of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art.

​Cornelia created a structure that
combines
the wholesomeness of a red barn with the darkness of the
 house utlized for "Psycho", Alfred Hitchcock's 
psychologically terrorizing movie.  
Alfred's  
inspiration for the house was 
Edward Hopper's
"The House by the Railroad" 

Edward Hopper "The House by the Railroad"

​The "Psycho Barn" was made from  historic reclaimed red barn materials. 

Cornelia made it into a set, rather than a complete structure,
similar to the facade Alfred used in "Psycho".

The ominous house only had two walls in the movie.

It was a glorious day on top of The Met!  
​A fabulous place to be with its stunning view of
Central Park
tree tops and
​Manhattan skyline.

All sorts of libations are available at the roof top bar.

Afterward we hitched a ride with a bicycle cab.   Here is the back of the strong man that pedaled us to Grand Central Station.   

Another thrill of that day as we meandered our way in and out of  cars on Fifth Avenue.  

We survived the perilous fun journey!  

I highly recommend you check out the roof and all of the other marvelous exhibits and collections
​at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC!
