Sure, museums are meant to take us to a different time, a different place, a different world; but when they respond to current events, they remind us how important freedom is.

On Thursday, the Museum of Modern Art, installed several works by artists from some of the nations whose citizens are affected by the President's ban.

According to the NY Times, “Seven works by artists such as the Sudanese painter Ibrahim el-Salahi, the Iraqi-born architect Zaha Hadid, and the Los Angeles-based Iranian video artist Tala Madani, were installed Thursday night in MoMA’s fifth-floor galleries, replacing seven works by Picasso, Matisse and Picabia, among other Western artists.”
