Having a mild interest in fine art, it was interesting to browse throughout the dozens of rooms with hundreds if not more pieces and installations. To me, the installations far exceeded hung pieces.

However, the building is quite packed, which detracts a lot from the experience. Taking any kind of larger personal item with you including bags and coats is prohibited, so you'll need to check these items in to retrieve them back upon leaving. While I understand the importance of this precaution, it only adds another step to waiting around.

If memory serves, entrance fee for adults is $35 normally, which, if I'm completely transparent, is not worth the experience. Had I not visited with a local educator of an art establishment partnered with the MOMA which netted myself a $5 ticket charge, I would have opted to skip on this visit. I do recognize the importance and interest in what is being offered, but touring through for an hour or so to view only a handful of engaging pieces doesn't validate the standard admission price--and especially so when you can't interact with each piece very well due to crowds.
