Hi everyone

I'm happy to share my second MOC which I have been working on over the last 5 months. I build the MOC with BrickLink Studio 2.0 and used the new Eyesight Render for my images.

The MoMA - Museum of Modern Art is a MOC modular building inspired by modern architecture. The MOC has several highlights like a staircase fully made of glass bricks or a full-functional elevator on the backside. The MOC includes many of advanced building techniques and has a high level of details on each floor. It’s built on two standard 32 x 32 base plate and includes 18 minifigures, 28 paintings and 8 sculptures.

The dimensions of building are 10.2x20.6x18.2 inches (width x length x height) or 26 x 52.3x46.2 cm.

Awesome MOC, look forward to see it in real pieces. The building is so complex and with so interesting geometry. And even lamp stand is styled as building. Great work.

It looks incredibly well! I especially like all those modern art paintings and the flower installation using mugs! :)

WOW this modern building is totally cool!

I like the four yellow lines on the right side of the main entrance!

Very impressive! You have done a wonderfull job!

I really like all the different continuous lines and surfaces on the outside, with all those bright colors.

I wish you good luck and a lot of fun building your creation with real bricks! I'm looking forward to the pictures.

I missed this when you first posted it...what a fantastic build!!!

The huge part count aside, I think this would ace an IDEAS vote and review.

Amazing build!  And the fact that it’s only your second MOC is even more impressive!  Estimated piece count?

Thanks a lot for your compliment. Piece count is 7859 all in all!

I'm astounded... it's gorgeous! Seems like a wonderful place for minifigs to spend an afternoon.

This is amazing! I love the detail and there's some interesting building techniques in there!

Nice job!

Amazing building, just want to say thanks to simon84 for a great design, I finished my MoMA recently and it looks great on my modular street. Was slightly worried it would look a little out of place colour-wise but I don’t think it does.  It stands out from the rest of the street, and it should stand out.

Great design and instructions, when I first saw it at start of the year I loved it, then the next day I realised I had to build it!  I didn’t change much, used all the stickers as suggested - changed the staff minifigs to lime torso with dark pink arm and medium azure arm, bright light orange legs, I think they go well.
