One of the best modern art museums in the world hands down. There is nothing more thrilling to art lovers than to be able to see iconic paintings that you have seen in print for many years up close and the originals. That was the experience in standing two feet from Van Gogh's Starry Night or Picasso's Avignon. The same for works by Matisse, Chagall, Pollack and many more. The exhibit halls are very spacious so there is never a crowded feeling despite the large number of viewers. You are able to get up close as well as stand back and take in these historic works of art. The museum has current exhibits continuously changing over so call ahead or look at their website to see whats on. The large wooden sculptures are also very interesting and the bench by the window where these statues are offers a view of the garden where I spotted another famous Picasso statue of the goat. The museum has the usual cafe and gift shop as do most museums. The gift shop/library as I call it has a great selection of books and posters. Located in mid town Manhattan a short walk from Central Park, 5th Avenue or Times Square. A must see for art lovers.
