The Modern at The MoMA, USHG Review

The facility was great. Enjoyed the art pieces. However the people working there are horrible. The coat check lady directing traffic was the worst. Not the woman behind the counter, the one out in front of the counters. Also, do not try to carry a purse or a bag into the exhibits. You will be forced to check your items even though their policy allows small bags. When you ask they will simply respond "Free coat and bag check". Then you ask again and they just bark "Free coat and bag check". Customer service is a black eye on this museum.

Great museum with a lot of art work. Definitely worth a visit.

Very modern not my taste but they let you in for free Friday afternoon. But it's crowded.

14/7/2017: i like the building, ambience, almost everything except its way too crowded..so i end up spent less time on each area..

The museum of modern art or MoMA is of course very famous. My favorite part was the virtual reality exhibit. It really allowed viewers to interact with the piece which is rare for an art museum. I wish there was a bit more information about the pieces shown. The student discount was very helpful.

The Moma is a meeting place for the art movements around the world, not only it houses some the treasures of the world art but it keeps up with anything new that appears on the horizon, if you're in New York ,visit this place, you will enjoy it, just make sure that you go early, closes 530 pm and your phone is fully charged, lots of pictures, get your art updates there.

Very charming place, there is a lot to see, the exterior and interior design of the MoMA is simply wonderful.

Worth seeing! My advice is for you to start off at the top floor and make your way down, this way you'll enjoy the biggest masterpieces they have at you full strength.

My heart skipped a beat when I got to see little dancer here! I have been her twice & loved every minute of it. Great works of art everywhere you go!

Amazing experience, specially to share with your children. My son enjoyed it very much

First time there since the renovation. Very nice job. However, getting around ti all the galleries was not obvious and a bit challenging. Could have and probably will do a better job with the flow in the foture. Many cutos for the inclusion of women and minority artists and finally recognizing photography as a real art form. The picture i attached is how uor will feel if you try to do the entire museum in one day.

I love the art here, but I hate the layout. The map they give you doesn't have notes of which exhibits are where. On each floor near the elevators there is a listing of all the special exhibits open and which floor they are on, but nothing about where on the floor they are. The staff is friendly and will help you find your way though. I especially like the outdoor sculpture garden. It's nice to relax there with a glass of wine when the weather is nice.

Nice place to visit with family! Incredible art collections. If you like modern arts this is the right place for you. We really enjoyed!

There is free audioguide service which you can pick up on the 2nd floor . Van gogh, Matisse, joan miro, kandinsky and many many more. Don t forget to take selfies on the entrance with MOMA s signature all colours background

Loved it. Huge. Plan on whole day wandering from room to room.

We got in fast, service was great and museum offers various interesting exhibits

Quality level 11/10, pretension level 12/10, presentation level 14/10, Cafe game ... ah MoMA!

Really enjoyed the time I spent in MOMA, great exhibitions and lots to see.

Quickly realized that abstract art in 2020 is just scribbles. Will not be returning.

They have a student discount like most museums in ny, which is great. There's never a slow day, so you're fighting thru the crowds. But it's a beautiful modern museum.

I'm not well-versed in art - not in it's history, creation, or analysis.

I do know that I like MoMA.

For me, it satisfyingly presents works along the spectrum from "classic" modern art (movements) to newer, boundary-pushing, less understood pieces.

I also appreciate the breadth (re: variety) of the pieces on display from it's collection at any given time.

Full of great art piece! Don't miss the free entry time period every Friday nights! But also expect crowd during your visit...

Iit is a feast for the eyes .A lot of it .manny people added to the good experience

Very amazing artwork from very well-known artists, all of it modernish. It was very packed, however, but that did not take away from the experience very much.

Always a great. Picasso, Van Gough, and many more in permanent display on 5th floor. I would suggest to go there first. Sculpture Garden a must see too!

You can pay as little or as much as you can afford. Dinosaur exhibit is amazing. Great indigenous people of the Americas and Asia collections as well.

Iconic epicenter of creative ideas. One can visit the garden, cafe and some sculptures for free.

Some good exhibits, but a bit chaotic. Queues worked very well though, and the maps were handy. Also the museum store was a lot of fun.

It's breathtaking. The staff is so kind and helpful. The art is the most groundbreaking and beautiful in the world.

Great place for family, date, or just by yourself. A must go when you are in NYC!

Currently only half of the famous exhibits are on display, the museum should communicate that more clearly. Also the cafe is closed.

Lots of Picasso's paints and more, very nice and affordable.

Great mix of work, especially wonderful cubism exhibit. Work is spread over 6 floors so wear comfortable shoes.

Great art museum. Loved seeing Starry night there.

Amazing selection of modern and contemporary art. Beautiful building and garden. Some students get in free, depending on your university.

Worthy of a visit even if you aren't too big on Modern Art.

The museum is currently under construction, so that might explain it, but at times, the museum was hard to navigate. Other than that, it was wonderful. The art was diverse and definitely worth seeing. They had a live ballet performance which was also beautiful.

A very beautiful museum of modern arts... There are different floors which contain different styles of arts... Paintings... I was advised by a friend to visit it... It was a rainy day and I had to stay for more than an hour to enter the place... But it is worth!!! It was a good experience... It is highly recommended!!!

Need understanding of the background, before one can appreciate. The description at places can be little more exhaustive

When is abstract art going to become art and not just abstract?

Beautiful build! These expositions are amazing. I felt very happy in this place!

It's a great museum, for sure, but on a weekend afternoon it's so crowded you can't really enjoy the unique treasures of art they present

I am a fan of modern art, but apart from the top floor classics - the rest was pretty poor to average. Also far too much queuing..... we had pre-paid ticket/vouchers but still had to queue for the actual entrance ticket. Then an even longer queue for the compulsory baggage drop. Also queued 1 1/2 hours for Tania Bruguera exhibition that was extremely poor. Far below expectations. Although it is a great building/space.

The free Friday is so crowded! I'll go back on a different day next time.

An experience worth having. And luck us we also met Tarsilas work there as well.

A wide variety of styles of painting by famous painters in addition the cafe and gift shop are top quality. It is a family must!!

Soooooo beautiful. If you are a designer/artist/Art lover you must go there if you are in NYC. Don't go on Fridays, it's free and it gets really crowded.

My favorite museum. The ever changing exhibits make this place new everytime I visit. Great people working here too!

Fifth floor is amazing. Especially the curated room.

What a lovely place to feel arts. Went with my girlfriend today and we were totally lost in the massive modern arts exhibitions. Wright's architectures attracted us most. There were also many contemporary arts that we felt hard to interpret n appreciate. Overall, a nice n solid art museum.

Btw, Friday 4-8 pm is Uniqlo' free night!

One of the best museums in the world with the most thought provoking art.

The Judd Installation was beautifully curated. What a breath of fresh air! COVID practices enforced. So glad to see art up close again!

Definitely worth a visit. We loved the Adrian Piper exhibition. So exciting to see Van Gogh's Starry Night plus paintings by Jackson Pollack, Picasso, Matisse, Dali, Warhol, Frida Kalo and many more

Great place to visit. Worth spending a whole day studying the paintings from famous artists in the past as well as discovering new and impressive artworks in the last decade. Free audio guide devices are provided and they really come in useful while exploring the museum. Free bag storage service is also provided so anyone can enjoy the visit.

I usually spend around 5hrs here no problem. The top floor is my favorite.

What's not to love about this museum. That's why New York is so special.

Great place to see some of the finest art on display! Very well planned and designed!

Powerful collection and great architecture from the courtyard

Was an eye opening experience. I enjoyed every piece of art especially the 4th and 5th floor. Starry Night is always great too

We came to the MOMA. I have to say, it was more crowded than I could have ever imagined. They also have wheelchairs one can borrow (since I needed to borrow one.... thanks saitaic pain!) the problem was mostly the people who were all just standing in the way, or walking in front of us when they clearly saw us rolling by, or not moving when we politely asked people to move. It made for a distracting and frustrating time in the museum.

The art is absolutely amazing... I'm giving it 4 stars because of logistical reasons. They do not allow bags inside but they do allow purses. Making that distinction is very arbitrary, I had a purse with straps that was not allowed in even though it was small and most importantly my medication was inside and I need to have it on me at all times. I told them this but because of some straps on my bag it wasn't okay. Doesn't make sense and I put my health at risk.

Free Friday rocks

The staff is incredibly well prepared for the crouds and still friendly and awasome

Recommend not getting there too early, we ended up having a coffee on the terrace and waiting for most people to leave so we could walk.

But close to 8:00, that's when the free entrance ends we got to see the Vang Gogh all for us.

I lost my phone while in there and the staff was amazing and supporting and my phone and I are back.

There are a few good pieces here from a variety of good artists, but I've seen better collections. VanGough's Starry Night is the main attraction in my opinion. There are a couple from Picasso, Monet, Cezanne and one from Pollock and Warhol. Ticket prices are reasonable at $25. It got pretty crowded by noon on a weekday. We started at 10:30, when it opens, and went to the top floor and worked our way down. I recommend doing the same. Give yourself at least 3-4 hours.

I have never been!

Right now they have a collection between the 1880s and the 1950s on the 5th floor which includes: Van Gogh, Pollock, Picasso, Monet, Matisse, Cezanne, Seurat & more from the era. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. It was a stunning collection.

Hands down the best experience from my NYC vacation.

Great layout and flow even when there are hundreds of people visiting. We went on a rainy day and it was crowded but everyone was respectful.

Incredible artwork, well kept, fun experience for everyone.

The famous museum in NewYork. It is free to entrance at Friday evening because of Uniqlo's sponsorship.

Make sure you remember to see the original art work. Shame that I missed out Dali's.

Always a special treat to contemplate and respite around expressions of art that lifts one s spirit. MoMA is just that an aesthetic oasis in a plain desert.

Probably my favourite museum! We visited during the free Uniqlo Friday nights. We started queuing at 15:30 and were in just after 16:00. It was busy but it has some of the best work of arts by renowned artists from the last 200 years and is a must!

Extraordinary place! Van Goghs Starry Night! Picasso! Beautiful sculpture garden. Concerts, films, performance art. Free on Fri nights but very crowded.

What a great museum! Strolled around for hours. Many exhibits to see without feeling like we're in a crowded place. Love it!

Modern Art's greatest hits all in one place! You name any important person or work and it is probably here. People seem taking selfies with paintings. That should tell you something. Do not miss.

It was very crowded but we had little trouble seeing Starry Night, which was our main purpose for going.

We had the New York Pass which includes this as an attraction.

Worth the time just to see Starry Night and the dozen or so other famous works even casual art observers can recognize

Museum of Modern Art, or MoMA for short, is an overwhelming art institution. Newly reopened after a totl remaking of the place, MoMA offers great spaces for enjoing contemporary art. They have many classic works from European and American "modern canon", but also curates highly interesting ahowcases of lesser know artists and what's happening in the art world now. They also have a nice sculpture garden. Order tickets online, and you save your self some time. And plan to spend many hours there.

Fascinating and very well curated museum. $25 adult entry

It's the MoMa! Anyone could spend hours here, even if you don't know what you're looking for. The museum holds all kinds of public events including concerts in the garden which is a must-see. The museum also holds very famous works such as Starry Starry Night.

At a price of $25 per person we were underwhelmed. And you might as well get your tickets in advance because standing in line at the entrance will probably take you an hour or more.

The minimalist design of the building was surely a conscious design choice for obvious reasons, but the strange floor plan left me scratching my head. When we went the place was crawling with visitors young and old and navigating the floors more resembled a game of Frogger than a relaxing day at an art museum. Of course there are many world famous works here, but they deserve more reverence than one can muster when sandwiched between a group of Spanish tourists and shouting children. And the Marcel Duchamp pieces are life changing (just kidding, I only wanted to sound pretentious).

I had so much fun here! If you re a CUNY student the entrance is FREE if you bring a valid school ID. Paintings are beautiful. Just sucks that it closes so early
