New York's MoMA has always been thorough in their multicultural exhibits, and their newest installation, which explores the phenomenon of mass-produced architecture in the suburbs, has been long in the making. Lacking samurai armor or connections to dead languages, "Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling" is definitely one of the more novel meditations of setting and culture at any museum. Sure, any New Yorker can hop on a train from Grand Central to Westchester. But for the uninitiated (or for those who won't spring $20 for a round-trip train ticket), the MoMA exhibit is far more revelatory, recasting pre-fab living as an exotic beast in its own right.
