The Modern at The MoMA, USHG Reviews

Good art, but don't go when it's free, it is way too crowded. Otherwise a great layout, a good selection of art, and some wonderful classics.

World class art. I've been visiting here my awhile life...I still remember my first visit where's my baby sister my mom and dad great aunt and uncle ... I must have just been at the end of three years old or the beginning of 4 years old

Such an amazing place. Even when it is busy it doesn't feel crowded. Lots of staff and volunteers to answer questions and their collection is awesome

Quite busy at all times, especially the free entry on Friday evening. But definitely worth it going back! (closes early during the week - as all other museums in the city so better come earlier) great collection

Absolutely mind-blowing. Defenitely take at least 2 to 3 hours in order to see everything!

Not to miss if you are in New York and you have anything more than a marginal interest in art

Great collection....especially on their free Friday nights!

Amazing, but I recommend to not attend on free Friday. It was so packed we could barely see the art.

Love it! Always changing into new amazing exhibits! Starry Night always has a big crowd around it. Highly recommended this place

One of his best museums in NYC. The recent renovations make for a much nicer viewing experience.

NYC Landmark must stop when your visiting. It will be crowded but worth the wait and crowd to see some the most influential art pieces over the past 200 years.

Such a cool place to go. They do a great job at acquiring really intriguing and, many times, famous, pieces. Can't wait to go back again!

This is a well known and great museum. Its permanent collection has some very famous works, including Starry Night and The Persistence of Memory by Dali. But I personally more enjoy the temporary exhibits. Some is more traditional with paintings and such, but there was also an interesting one on Yugoslav architecture when I was there. The most memorable for me though were the ones that used space and sound in interesting ways. Kind of hard to describe but as art goes, it was unexpected and fresh.

Tip : Strongly recommended to use the app and listening the explanations while visiting

Nice museum lots of cool exhibits and well known artists featured

If you can wait, come in October 2019 when two floors are remodeled

stunning museum fill up of masterpieces. I'm worried about Sunday afternoon early close (5:30P.M.)

Loved the 5th floor, amazing paintings and great shop!

An amazing collection makes the MoMA a highly recommended destination. Beware though that it does get quite crowded around holidays. You can buy tickets online though to skip the long lines at the entrance.

I went of friday evening which it free admission to the museum. They have a really nice exhibition but one of the floor is closed for remodeling.

A one of a kind experience in the big city! A must see for people visiting around the world! The main atttaction has to be Starry Night by Van Gogh. They also have a small selection of Pablo Picasso and Claude Monet among others. Some renovations are happening now, so excuse their appearance but I will be going back very soon! Cafe and gift shops are available as well as a structure garden. Coat check if visiting in the winter and small bags are ok. Only one elevator for handi-accessible but great! Enjoyed every exhibit very much!

A priceless collection of modern and contemporary art, and most people just crowd around Starry Night...

It may be very popular but I don't see the point in admiring a piece of blue acrylic plastic. Maybe good for snobs, definitely not my taste.

A feast for the senses. Become a member and take advantage of the early member access times to avoid the insane press of humanity and cameras around Van Gogh's The Starry Night. There are equally fascinating and beautiful works right in the same gallery as TSN, but don't tell the tourists! Then you'll have those lesser- known works to yourself to enjoy.

One of the top modern art museums in NYC. The artwork you find there is very unique by the most prestigious artists in the world. The venue is very well maintained and beautifully designed.

Superb museum, definately woth visiting.
Firsly I thought that there will be just various painting, but museums content have surpased the expectations. There so much to see, that you should consider to spend here mayor part of the day. You will find here everything from little artefacts to, of course, paintings and even small buildings.

Beautiful artwork, lots of variety. I happened upon the museum on one of their free nights. Love that it was free but would honestly rather have paid the $25 entrance fee than battle the crowds. It was too packed and difficult to see some of the pieces and much too loud and crowded to focus on anything.

This museum is wonderful.. Always having awesome exhibits..

A must visit for art and film lovers. Great value membership too

Cool museum. Even if you don't like modern art you'll find it nice to visit, especially if you go with someone who knows about this stuff

Was expecting more. Sterile and unengaging. Mona in Tasmania was far more impressive.

Best pizza I have ever had! Great price too. Will definitely back before we go home

I enjoy modern art. A must see if you are in NYC. I learned a trick from my mom. Start at the top where the best pieces are located and work your way down.

If you want to see the major artworks for the twentieth century, this is the place. Try to go on a quiet day.

Great collection, arrive early to avoid lines, and bring a jacket some of the exhibitions are temperature controlled in order to preserve the art, which can get pretty cold.

I went at a really crowded time which made things stressful BUT still had an excellent time musing on the art.

Amazing experience for all art lovers, take a few hours to see al enjoy all 6 floors of exhibitions and permanents display.

Always a pleasant experience with a variety of art (impressionist, cubist, photography, sculpture, models, sketches, videography, etc.). The outdoor area is nice in the summer as well.

Beautiful Museum. Famous painting, items I've only seen in art books. Great time great Exhibits

Love it! So many important artwork inside. Design and art.

It was amazing! I got so see so much great artwork also my fav piece is there! The starry night by Van Gogh . The people who work there are very nice and helpful i was on a private tour and the lady who gave us the tour was sooo good its to bad i forgot her name i would have recommended her!

Very beautiful place with diff works of art from classic masterd to trippy, installations of art, very cool place to check out!

Love this museum. Natural history museum is my favorite..

Very good museum ! We went there on a Friday night, it was totally free thanks to UNIQLO (which explain the overcrowded hall)

MoMA is free on Friday from 4-8. There was no queue by the time I got there at 5. I saw some incredibly famous paintings. The crowd waa mainly around those paintings so it was hard to take time to admire them without people taking photos in front of you. But I like that the art is available for free to the public.

The power and wealth of a city can be measured by the treasure it accumulates from the world, and MoMA proves New York has stolen the world's greatness for itself.

Recently stopped by for new exhibit, Is Fashion Modern? Interesting take on iconic fashion pieces (111 in total). Fun to see. Exhibit needs more of a fashion's eye to detail.

It simply is one of the best experiences to live, it is amazing to have Warhol, Jones, Monet. Van Gogh Dali's (among so many others) work in front of your eyes. Along with the three musicians by Picasso (for me the best painting ever). There the store is cool and not as pricy as one can think. Cool souvenirs to give at a reasonable price

A beautiful place, $25 per ticket. First time I saw The Starry Night of Vincent van Gogh. Love to visit again.

I took advantage of 'Free Friday' to line up half way around the block with a relaxed and chatty mix of tourists and locals who were obviously interested enough in modern art to make the effort - and I doubt any of them were disappointed. More intimate than the Met, probably because of a clearer focus, and yet airy and open enough for a huge crowd to move through with ease. The greats of modern art are well represented, and there are some pleasant surprises as well.

The building is very pleasent. Go directly to the upper floors to see the best. The rest is oldish modern art, needs some renewal

Exhibits ome of the most important Western art, stating with impression to today's multimedia installations. Includes live performances and an ongoing film series at an adjacent building. Too much to do in one day. Had a blast.

It was so much nicer and intriguing 10 years ago. It has become similar to a shopping mall with escalators defining more or less the path. It got rid of nearly all the objects of design only keeping a small section dedicated solely to pc and mac history. Obviously there is still a galore of amazing paintings but nothing like what it used to be. Sad.

Stunning space. Huge galleries. Give yourself plenty of time to explore and meander through here. Great to pair with Central Park.

Love MOMA. Always have new things going on and its a great place to learn something new and have a good time. You don't just have to be an art geek to love it.

6 floors of some of the greatest masterpieces on earth including Van Gogh s Starry Night. Other works include Picasso, Pollack, Matisse, Monet, Klee, Kandinsky, Gauguin, Warhol, and many many more. Every period of art is represented here and truly magnificent. My daughter loved it too!

Nice museum and store. Lots of art pieces to appreciate and enjoy.

So much to see fantastic art displays would go back to finish seeing it, need to have at least 4 hours to see it in its entirety

So disappointed. We came to see Andrew Wyeth's Christine's World as was advertised on the website on display but there is NO Wyeth work here, none.

Best museum ever. Just don't go on a free Friday night when it's raining. Love all the painting and the art performances.

A lot of unique collections, plus student discount!

The Museum of Modern Art is my favorite museum with a ton of famous artworks. I definitely recommend coming here!

Cool art, buy way too busy. And can we please ban the practice of taking pictures? It ruins the experience :|

Memorable place to visit again!
Van Gogh's "The Starry Night" was also famous.

So if you get directions to MoMA you will most likely be sirected to 53rd street entrance. Then you will have to walk around to the 54th street entrance, so be weary to that. If you come here with a back back or shopping bags - you will be required to check it with coat check. The lines were pretty long for drop off so that blew a good 20 minutes of our allocated time for MoMA. The layout inside of the galleries is strange. People walking all over each other in here. Not what I expected from such a high regarded art museum.

If you visit NYC, you should go here. Amazing artwork from amazing artists. Can't wait to visit again

One of my favorite museums. Amazing exhibits! Very crowded during the holidays.

Where modernity, humanity and artistry collide in a cascade of eclectic creativity. Human exuberance exemplified through the abstract and the organized. MOMA explores the meaning of life, emotion, and the transcending of society, culture and time. Colour and mediums flow as much at the paint and film that made the art. The only thing structered about this place is the architecture of the building itself. It is probably the most captivating part, open concept combined with intellectual framing, creates an art piece holding the art. Specifically loved the photography section, which explored unique ways to frame, display and cover a moment in time. However, If you look to find meaning through art you might as well start with the number 42. Sometimes abstractivity lends itself to clarity, most of the time it's child's play.

I loved the yellow virgin you have outside. I can really relate to her bc I once dreamed the holy spirit got me pregnant just like her. Was that a sign? We would never know. God bless you all.

Wonderful museum to visit. The free coat check is wonderful to be able to leave all items in a safe place while visiting, make for a much more pleasant visit. We visited with 2 kids and found it easy to maneuver and especially liked that all the famous works we wanted to see were on the same floor!

It's culturally diverse, the art is beautiful and the structure on the outside is just spectacular. Not recommended for people with small children or people who expect to make a short trip around.

Visited on a Saturday in early December, so "busy" was an understatement. I had a City Pass C3 so I skipped the line. I had a few hours to spend, but being so crowded I got to see very little of the massive collection.

There were no exhibit maps detailed enough for a quick visit (contained mostly eras/themes) so I ended up Googling the floors on which some of the more well-known pieces were. Spent an hour or two on floors 4 and 5 to see Pollock, Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, and Warhol.

Because of the crowd, I was unable to see much or spend time admiring pieces. But I enjoyed seeing some of art's most celebrated masterpieces.

Amazing original art with rotating displays. Visual, sound and art you can touch. Truly amazing

I would have been deeply disappointed without paintings from van Gogh, Monet, or Picasso. Very spacious and one could spend a whole day here. Very efficient coat check and friendly staff. Food cafes on premises.

A unique view on modern art very close to central park. Definitely include this in your trip to Manhattan
