Step #1
1) MoMA The Museum of Modern Art
2) https://www.moma.org/?ref=googleartproject
3) I selected this museum because I've visited it in New York when I was young and thought it would be interesting to take another tour, virtually this time.
Step #2
1) There are light fixtures on the ceiling that are pointed at the pieces creating a glowy, illuminated effect on the art.
2) The walls are muted tones of white and grey.
3) There are accent walls throughout the museum which the artwork is mounted on as well as glass cases which look to be about hip-height also containing various pieces.
4) It appears that you can walk through the museum to the open rooms containing the art.
Step #3
1) The artworks are organized by the exhibit.
2) As the name of the museum indicates, it appears that the art is similar in that it is modern and contemporary.
3) The collection of the pieces vary greatly in content, medium, and style.
4) There are various kinds of frames, some of which appear to be wood and of different colors. There are also some pieces which are not framed.
5) The artworks have white labels that are mounted on the wall with them.
6) The artworks have varying distances between them with some being very close, almost touching, and others being far apart.

I see what looks to be a newspaper with abstract flowers made from paint strokes on top of it. The flowers appear to have shadows making it look as if they are floating over the newspaper. Owens uses line, shape, color, and texture. I think Owens is using the colorful flowers to create art on the newspaper which we may not normally see as beautiful.

This piece is a woman with blue skin dressed in white with a veil. She is positioned against a red patterned background. The piece uses space, contrast, and pattern. I think the artist is trying to emphasize the regal essence of the subject.

This piece is composed of abstract shapes that look like they are made from different mediums and some look similar to ink blots on a yellow background. This piece uses color, shapes, and texture. I'm not sure what the artist was trying to convey with this piece other than creating art for the sake of art.
What did you think of "visiting" the Gallery and purposefully looking at the exhibition from a different perspective - the physical space, the architecture, theme, etc.?
I don't prefer a virtual visit to the museum. I would much rather be physically present to be able to see the artwork in person and take in all of the details which don't translate in the same way over a computer screen. I think being able to see the physical space, architecture, theme, etc would have helped me to understand the museum as a whole.
