Karsten Moran for The New York Times “Rain Room†visitors.Sunday is the last day to experience “Rain Room,†that field of falling water digitally programmed to create a carefully choreographed downpour, using motion detectors to create a dry path for viewers. To accommodate as many people as possible, the Museum of Modern Art has decided to extend its hours - just on Sunday, and just that room - keeping it open until midnight, rather than 5:30 p.m. Since it opened on May 12 at a vacant lot to the west of MoMA on 54th Street, “Rain Room'' has attracted about 65,000 visitors, some of whom have waited in line for up to nine hours.
