The ad shows more than a dozen notes from MoMA vis­i­tors that say what they did on their vis­it to the muse­um. The cre­ativ­i­ty that the vis­i­tors put into their draw­ings and thoughts remind­ed us of the won­der­ful Post-It™ notes that were left behind by our vis­i­tors over the past few years. We col­lect­ed vis­i­tor feed­back to get infor­ma­tion about what Gov­er­nors Island vis­i­tors thought of the Park and Pub­lic Space Mas­ter Plan, and what they want­ed to see in the final design. Some cre­ative Post-It™ notes from vis­i­tors are below: [cap­tion id=“attachment_4222” align=“alignleft” width=“300” caption=“The new pub­lic spaces will have a diverse array of trees and plant­i­ngs that will attract birds”][/​caption]
