The Modern at The MoMA, USHG Reviews

I mean, they had Starry Night, but absolutely none of the staff was helpful. Good God, go, but don't waste your time on anybody there. Go. Look. Don't ask.

An incredible variety of art from the last 100+ years. Something for everyone.

No need to mention anything! MET & MOMA should be visited by every NY visitor...

I don't love modern art, so that was a bad start. But, the entrance and ticket area was overwhelmingly confusing and disorganized. We bought our ticket, then had to backtrack to get to the galleries after showing our ticket to a man in an undesignated area. The various floors had no continuity nor did they make any sense. I wish we hadn't paid so much to enter!! The only redeeming quality was the Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit and Andy Warhol art. Impressive!!

Love this museum. Great collection on the fifth floor but if you're an art liver don't go there on Friday evening. The place is so crowded that you don't have a chance to actually see art

Great openings and special events. Recent Armory after party

Amazing museum. Need to come here again on a full day to explore all the exhibits.

Some great stuff, the exposition about post-sovietic architecture was great. Unfortunately, many rooms were closed, making the museum much smaller than it already is.

great places I really felt my emotions during the visit. the art moved me

Currently under renovation but 'less is more' is just fine with me. The art currently packed in to the reduced space must be the greatest single collection on public display in the world.

Always wonderful - bring your own headphones and listen to the audio tour free. Start from 5/F for the permanent collection and work your way down.

If your visiting NYC and reading this please go. If your in NYC and haven't... not sure whats wrong with you ;)

Amazing collection of paintings. You will definitely send a few hours in the museum. You can also go outside in the little garden.

Every time I visit MoMa is always a new experience. I got in love with Adrian Piper exposition this time.

Where else can you go to see Van Gogh, Picasso, Frida, Rivera, Monet, Pollock, and Dali all in one exhibit...only cried a little.

Very well equipped museum. Large collection of paintings from Picasso and Matisse. There is a lot of variety. Easy to get around. Ask for a map at the front desk if not given one.

I thought it was free entrance, but I was mistaken by their definition of "free." You pay for a ticket, the exhibits are free. Why not just say buy tickets to enter?

I still had a good time.

Lots of cool art to appreciate but I will need to live 10 lifetimes before I can interpret canvases that are 99% white and others that consist of two squares of different colors.

It a nice museum to watch really nice arte work from Picasso to Dali . Recommended

Great museum
Lots of interesting (slightly strange) art and sculptures.
Children (under 16) are free and and on Fridays after 4pm everyone is free

Great and awesome art works. Affordable prices for purchases of artworks. Detailed information about artworks

The first time I went there I spent 3 hours on a single floor before I had to leave.

Features famous paintings from 'The Starry Night' to 'The Persistence of Memory' to Jackson Pollock to Piet Mondrian to Pablo Picasso.

One exhibit had a room of hanging white squares at eye level in a long row. As I looked into the room I noticed many people staring, inspecting, and even taking photos of the individual squares. I was utterly confused as to what people were finding so interesting about the squares, so I went to take a closer look. When I walked in front of one of the squares I realized what was fascinating. The squares were actually some sort of sound laser, so that if you stood directly facing one, you could hear a loud voice, but step to the left or right and you will hear almost nothing.

Of course it is a great museum. The exhibits can be stuffy some times but overall you cannot go wrong with the price as well as the array of exhibits.

It's crowded but it's worth the bows you'll be throwing to see the art you'll be seeing.

Was my dream to see starry night and it came true:) I was so happy!!! Free on the time I went, so definitely check out there website. -sophia from Florida

The new MoMA is poorly designed, crowded, and pretentious. Some of the modern installations were laughable. The 5th floor is a treasure. Matisse, Picasso, Monet, Leger, Cezanne.

It is a most visit. It is a great experience. The only problem is that there is so many people, and that the galleries are confusing to navigate. But still, I loved it.

Amazing! Much bigger than I anticipated. Spent an hour an a half, only saw the 5th floor. So worth it.

The museum has a wide variety of art and it laid out in a very approachable way. Even if you never studied art, you will appreciate and learn about the works and perhaps recognize a few familiar works.

The Brancusi sculpture gallery is my favorite and I could spend hours in there.

There is a free night, but it is very busy and you may have a difficult time viewing the works.

There's also a small gallery next to the industrial design exhibits where you can play with different designs and sit in some classic chairs, including a Eames Le Chaise

Simply the best modern art museum in existence. It sets the standard for quality of collections and it's broad range covering everything from paintings to film to photography.

Big thumbs down. It was not worth spending so much time. On some days, it has free entry. Only go on that time. Don't spend money on it

Only go if you are into modern art (which is kind of obvious). Went there because of my girlfriend and it was absolute torture

Probably my favourite museum in NYC. Always interesting exhibitions and so much great art. An excellent way to pass an afternoon in the city.

Their exhibitions shows Full range of variations and bring you new ideas of art !

The building an the escalators aren t very efficient for people to flow. The free hours on Friday is flooded with people taking photos of arts and selfies exhibits are okay. They keep changing. Fifth floor has the legendary painters works.

2 floors were closed for remodeling. Limited exhibits. Contemporary art installation was a snore. Would love to have seen more of the design though.

Loved it. This place is vivid and amazing. I loved spending a few hours and the atmosphere was great.

25 per person and free for people under 16 is a little pricey to see garbage hung on a wall. The older, more famous paintings are great to see but everything else is random materials thrown together and called art. Kids probably wouldn't like it due to the extensive visuals rather than interactivity. Pets aren't allowed. I walked through in 30 minutes. Most take hours here

you don't have to understand it all but it's a really neat place at the forefront of modern art in design and in terms of it's collection. go see a starry night and some water lillies and have a nice time

Great architecture and great art. Only downer was that sculpture garden was closed

Went for an event with my wife had incredible time. Charles White exhibition. Open air courtyard provided fantastic views and ambiance. the live DJ was on point. Very eclectic crowd made for great people watching. The horderves I really could have done without. Random popcorn bowls and other "Where your hands been?" type passes. Other than that it was Super Cool.

Very sad and Unorganized. There s no flow to any of the exhibits, seems like it was all thrown together last minute.

Well what can anyone say about MOMA that hasn't been already said?! Lots of floors and a quite big collection of art exhibitions for everyone! Have fun!

Really nice, is one of the things that if you're in New York you have to see. there are many really famos and important artistic work, like the starry night of Vincent Van Gogh and many Picasso's painting

Watch silent films while an accompanied by a lovely young pianist.

So much to see and do you will definitely want to be a member of MOMA or a volunteer because you'll want to come back again and again and yet AGAIN!

This was an amazing experience, it was a little crowded compared to all the other museums we visited but that was to be expected. You should definitely set aside at least a half day to a full day to fully experience the MoMA.

Probably my favorite in the museum category of NYC. They have a meandering layout that you can walk through... although some of our party had trouble finding specific locations or areas so it may be best to just stroll through. It takes about 3 hours to get through the exhibits. Even the free, public exhibits are amazing! Some fun and interactive exhibits, art installations that make you feel both large and small. It s a great place.

The new MOMA is sensational. They have expanded many rooms. There are many artists I've never heard of. Wait staff is pleasant.

I loved it everything was so artsy (obviously) and beautiful 10/10

Awesome art museum. The collection here is fantastic. There's so much to see and take in that you need several visits to get it all. My only regret is that I didn't have more time to spend wandering about in this fabulous museum.

Classic works can be found on the fifth floor. Some of the sculptures we're pretty cool.

Great museum off course but although it's free on Friday night, it is REALLY crowded! It does effect the way You experience the pieces of art...

If you like modern art, this is the place for you! There are many chairs to sit on as you admire the art, plus information desks on every floor that provide you with multi-lingual maps and headsets (with an iPod-thing with numbers on it to listen to what was the thought process behind each art piece). The gift shop is nice and quirky.

We went on a Friday= yay! Free afternoon and. HOLY CANNOLI...that's a lot of people. I did see some pieces that were worth the wrestle. Jackson Pollock and Van Gogh. But also other pieces that were "modern" that quality of art varies between people

Who doesn't love the MOMA. No one ever leaves here dissatisfied. Excellent works of art with great installations throughout the year. If you visit come early so you can get the entire museum in. The outdoor space is fantastic, has been one of my favorites since my childhood. Fridays from 4-8 it's free. If you're a student in one of the many universities in NYC then you can enter for free by showing your valid student id.

Outstanding exhibitions of paintings and pieces of art . Plan in advance what to see

I'm not a huge fan of modern art and wasn't all amazed by MoMA, which would be expected. Staff was pretty unfriendly and moody. There was plenty to see if you're a fan of this art. A lot of school kids wandering around, they really didn't care for anything. Please don't take your class out here because it's not interesting for them.

Experience some of the most progressive art pieces of the past 200 years or so. The museum is a gem.

This was amazing. Being able to get up close to artwork from Picasso, Van Gogh, and many others really blew me away. Even though I am not someone who understands art, I still had a really great time and appreciated what I was seeing. I plan on going back and would definitely take the time to do the audio tour.

Went with my 2 boys (age 11 and 8), it was very interesting and great to see famous pieces of art. My 8 year did get board, but they have seating areas in each area. Took about 2-3 hours for us

Bruce Nauman exhibit was stunning. So eclectic and lots of space to enjoy it.

Great selection. A must if you are in New York. Try to avoid the crowds. If you need a break and a glass of vine, choose the more affordable italian restaurant across the street. good tapas and allround vines.

Went on the free Friday night opening. Large crowds as you would expect. At 6.15 the queue extended almost around the whole block but moved surprisingly fast and we were inside in 25 minutes.
The paintings are fabulous and so many of them. With such large crowds it was difficult to see the paintings. Consequently may be better to pay and have a good view. And the 3 hours free is not really enough time to see everything unless you are targeting some specific things.

Do not miss this if in New York. Great place to spend a few hours or a day. Gift shop had great things. I really enjoyed audio tour.

Family took a trip into the city to get some culture. We decided to visit MoMa and had a great time. It was a little crowded but, it was still worth the trip. One of the best collection of art around.

Exhibits were outstanding. The crowd and ques for bags and jackets was a terrible experience.

What can I say? This is the modern art lovers dream museum. Exhibits are extensive and well put together. They have frequent rotating special exhibits that keep things fresh. Get a membership if you're a local. It's worth it and you can bring guests for $5 per person.

Very, very crowded, but very, very nice museum with an interesting permanent collection.

Great experience with my daughter and granddaughter. A must for art lovers.

Not what I expected. This is art? This is the main question in some expos, specially the most contemporary expos. However there are several Master pieces

I recommend a minimum of two hours to see the current collection, longer once the new area opens I'm sure. I've been to art museums across the world, and this gives a taste of what it's like. I loved the collection, but it was less than I expected as a few exhibits were closed. In comparison to London's Tate Modern, MoMA has a similar yet but upscale vibe about. Definitely recommend coming if you're a fan of modern classics, but check what exhibits are happening in NYC first if you're short on time and have more specific tastes.

Great museum for all ages. Each level has it's own unique presentation. Worth the price. Will definitely go back.
