One of the best museums of New York City. The exhibits are quite impressive especially if you like modern art. You can find a permanent exhibition as well as special exhibitions which very every now and then.
There is so much to see so take your time and enjoy each flow.
One comment is that there is quite a lot of performance art so if you are not into it you kind of skip it.
Wonderful museum. Reasonable admission. Thought provoking installments. Great art. Good flow.
Enjoyed a private tour with colleagues....In my opinion beautiful abstract pieces!
An exceptional place. Temple of creativity and beauty.
Amazing museum that gives the opportunity to stare some of the most important piece of art in the world like the Van Gogh's painting for example.
Never seen anywhere a museum which this much creativity and variety.
Very much appreciated.
Great museum, very pretty and activities for restless kids, wide variety of art and good restaurant
Love the art, great Modern exhibits - recent shows have been Picasso, Wright, Rauschenberg - but very crowded. Very popular with tourists. Cafe is interesting, but not the most comfortable. The restaurant might be better...
Fabulous!!! If you really want to give some attencion do the paintings don't go on the free entrance day, better pay for the ticket on any other day and have the time and a the space to enjoy the museum!
I only wish I could have attended the Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs exhibition...
MoMA is at the cutting edge of the cut-out world and has championed the form. The Museum of Modern Art in New York comes highly recommended. A must-see place!
A little dry if your not a big art fan. They have awesome free days though.
Very beautiful and not too expensive. There are so many must see artworks. Yoko Ono's exhibit was quite the experience. Will definitely go back soon.
C'mon it's the MoMA you really need a review of this? Do student pricing online for $14 instead. :)
World class art museum with the best of the best. Where else could one see Vincent van Gogh's masterpiece, Starry Night?
The one problem is that everybody else knows about it too, so visit really early if you want to avoid the claustrophobia of huge crowds impeding your preception of great art
I was waiting a lot of time to see this place in person. I enjoyed it but I think it could be better curated.
They have very interesting art. Don't expect any classics here though!
Even though I don't always care for all the art of display here it is easily the best curated museum in NYC. There's a ton of diversity and all the rooms and floors flow together incredibly
The place is cool, but when I went there two floors were closed and nobody at the tickets office said nothing about it. I paid a full ticket for half of the museum.
i actually prefer the met even for modern art, but still a good place
Full of people of course but also full of fun to explore.
Lots of fantastic different unique styles of modern art.
Amazing museum. I have seen quite a few major museum around the world, but never such an excellent collection for modern art. A must.
First things first: I am talking about the organization and the way everything is handled in the MoMA - it s not about the art.
Positive things:
on Fridays , you can get free admission by UNIQLO between 4 and 8pm. Be there early or show up around 6pm since the queue is the shortest then.
As a student, you only pay 14$ with a valid student ID which shows that you are a full-time student. However, I wasn t even checked on my ID. It s just written on the website.
Now already the negative aspects:
It is insane how bad you can manage such a museum concerning the mass of visitors. It s not about the experience of art in the wonderful atmosphere of the MoMA. I guess nowadays it s more about the money-making business of the museum.
I entered around 10ish in the morning and after approximately half an hour later I could barely move anymore without bumping into other people. I would highly recommend the supervisors of the museum to set a maximum amount of visitors each hour or so.
Secondly, in my opinion it s about the art and the idea of spreading the educational background of this all in here. Not about taking pictures like crazy, standing in front of the painting and sculptures and block the view for other visitors just to post your stay at MoMA on your social media.
Thirdly, it s a security issue to let that many people in the museum. Even though they check you bags. It s not as rigorous as it is supposed to be.
Great museum. Always crowded. And the modern installations are really diferent.
It was a dream come true. Great experience. Really enjoyed it even though it was too crowded on new year's eve. One of the three members of the staff that we ask for directions was not very informed.
An amazing museum, in my opinion the best place in NYC
Pace yourself and be prepared to spend at least several hours here. Worth every minute.
A fantastic way to spend an afternoon or entire day. Worth far more than the ticket price.
An essential part of any artist's pilgrimage to New York.
Such a great offer to see it free on Friday evenings. It does get very busy, though.
I do special event there. That week setting up for Caroline Herrera fashion show for Fashion Week in New York City
It was crowded on Free Fridays but I enjoyed the new installations.
Their collection was much smaller than I had expected, with only two of the six floors actually holding art. The first three floors were essentially empty, and the sixth floor was closed. Despite this, the fifth floor which holds their permanent collection was still quite impressive. Frankly, I find it difficulty to give a gallery that holds Starry Night a rating any lower.
Really awesome art. I've seen a bunch from books in art class in elementary school but much cooler in person.
Beautiful place with some iconic pieces of art. Sometimes a lot of (noise) people. I recommend to lunch / take a coffee at any of their restaurants.
A bit packed, but the MOMA never disappoints. If you're willing to brave the crowds, Friday afternoons are FREE from 4 to 8 PM. I've been here a few times before, and came on a weekend with some friends recently. I'm always impressed by the thought-provoking work that's offered here, as well as the incredible breadth and diversity; one exhibit featured a Congolese artist who sought to capture the colorful nature of the Art Deco architecture in his hometown in Congo, while the more traditional offerings included works by Warhol, Rothko, Kandinsky, Pollock and other familiar names. This museum could easily fill 3 to 4 hours of your time if you've never been before, and offers multiple floors of exhibits. The enclosed courtyard, with its fountains, trees, sculptures and calm atmosphere is worth a look and is great way to stop and chill out (if you can get an empty seat).
Great museum that showcases art, history and interesting facts from all over the world.
Engaging exhibitions, including a recent one that involved serving visitors vegetable curry over rice. The admission ticket also gives you access to their film screenings of the day (pick up your film ticket early as popular screenings do tend to sell out).
It's a good museum with great art. Try to avoid going Friday night if you're willing to pay as it will be very crowded.
First time going to the MoMA and as lover of "classical" art, I really was ready to not understand modern art. I got there before the crowds and I was able to take my time going through the exhibits and it's like my eyes were opened. Art in whatever shape form or era will speak to you if you try and look at it with an open mind, a willingness to understand and accept. A whole world of art was opened to me that day. Thank you MoMA
Had a great time viewing all the wonderful exhibits here.
An amazing collection! The coffe and restaurant are also very good.
Great modern art museum with a good little selection of Pollocks
The place to be for modern art. Eye opening Exhibitions!
Interesting exhibits. World renowned paintings and set-ups.
What a great experience! You'll need a week to really enjoy it all.
Loved the modern art and set up in galleries.go early since crowds are crushing.
Sunjected to others obsession w body parts or confused minds.I was right Not to want to go but my friend insisted. Not my style ... and I don't care to be
Wonderful exhibits. Be prepared to check your backpack/bag as that was required to enter the museum
Spectacular! I love this place. It's amazing how talented people can be. Awesome!
Do I even need to review this place? I ve been a member for years. It s the easiest purchase to make. I return again and again and again.
Great collections, wonderful restaurants and cafes, kind and knowledgeable staff.
Amazing collection. Visited during the free-admission friday evening, so it was very crowded, but still really worthwile.
Wonderful museum! Great to go on the free day which was Fridays from 4-8
WORST PLACE EVER TO GO IN MY LIFE AND A WASTE OF MONEY! NEVER GOING TO THIS ART MUSEUM EVER AGAIN
A collection of artists work from all around the world. Start in the fifth floor to view the display of Monet. Henri Rousseau, Picasso and many others. Move up one floor for more modern work and stroll in their boutique to take your souvenir.
My daughter love to say hello to Jackson Pollock painting since she is 3 years old.
Also the movies are always good selection!
Fantastic exhibits. You can buy your tickets online and skip the lineup at the museum. I feel like there could be even more, when we visited it seems like some areas were closed off.
The museum of Modern Art is a big museum with many paintings. We went here because of the Van Gogh star night.
The museum has on Friday evening from 17:00 free entrance, which is a great way, if you don't want to pay too much for this museum and just want to have a quick look at some of their works.
Be carefully though, as the entrance is on one side.
Really nice museum with great pieces of art and very organized. My only disappointment was the very rude security lady on 5th floor in "The John Hay And Betsey Whitney Gallery".
The MOMA will not benefit from my review. The MOMA is a cultural and historic icon of NYC and it doesn't make sense to have people review this... it is the most wonderful place for modern art, and has all the famous works from Picasso, Van Gogh, Warhol.. and gives a voice to so many new emerging artists. I am very sad they redid the Monet water lilies room, , but always love my visit.
It's the MoMA I don't need to review this. It's amazing.
I frequent here often, every time they open up a new exhibit, and every time I'm always so happy. The staff is always kind and helpful, the artwork always beautiful. (Great date spot btw!)
I'm confused as to how 90% of everything in this museum could be considered art? I feel like my intelligence was insulted by visiting this place. Also, the security is rude, and just as pretentious as the million dollar art piece that is just a box.
Tremendous concrete architecture exhibit on here at the moment
Amazing collection. Wide variety of artwork. So worth it.
One of the best places to be in NYC. Great collections and a vibrant feel that makes you feel connected to its art. It can get VERY crowded, though. Be sure to prepare your spirit, take a deep breath and enjoy!
I can't say it enough the moment speaks for itself the breadth and depth of work that is there it's quite inspiring it's a great place to view Modern Art there's a lot of works that are available to you to view it can get crowded so that can be a deterrent but if you go early you'll get some great chances to see a lot of work it is a commitment so I would start out early in the day have lunch there and then continue in the afternoon as there's so much to see you do want to do most of it and that would give you money is worth but it is in a central part of looking at wonderful Modern Art and there's no better way to see it than upfront and person so book a day and have some fun because if you like Modern Art this is the exact experience you want
I visited during the video game exhibition and it was really awesome seeing all these classic video games being displayed in one of the best art museums in the country and maybe even the world. The architecture exhibit was also pretty cool, also the overall architecture and design of the building is worth paying some special attention to. I especially enjoyed seeing the classic Monet painting that the museum is famous for as well as the cafe which had actually decent food. Overall, this is a must-see for any visit to New York.
Great museums. Free evening on Thursday. Don't take a bagpack with you or you will queue for a long time to put it in a locker!
One of the great museum to visit. Purchase your entrance passes online before visit to skip the long queue.
Very good despite I don't like modern art at all! On Fridays is free after 4pm
Even my friends who aren t into modern art love the pieces here
Don't go on free fridays, it's a terrible experience. If you want to enjoy, pay ful price
MoMA not only has great permanent art collections that I always love to visit such as Van Gough's Starry Nights, Monet, Warhol, Matisse and much more. It also keep up with new exhibition that's why we always come back to visit again and again. And it seems like they keep expanding all the times.
A place to explore the possibilities of human imagination, the ways of understanding what is called "history", or "reality".
Fantastic. Starry night is probably the most recognized work at the MoMa but there is so much more to see. The temporary exhibits were engaging and entertaining.
Amazing experience, my favorite artist Van Gogh - The starry night. The architecture make you see each space the museum. Very clean, but the noise disturb a lot. But the art can save you.
Some expositions were interesting and overall entertaining.
The museum has an excellent and diverse collection of modern art. The only other comparable collection in the US is in Chicago Art Institute. You don t have to love modern art in order to appreciate the collection. It is still enjoyable and educational.
Avoid Free Friday s if you want to truly enjoy the huge collections of modern and contemporary art collections this museum has. unless you really value free things above all in life....
One of my favorite museums in the world. If you've ever studied art in any form, you will be amazed by the number of modern classics to see here. I also participated in one of the free art explanations and discussions they host drop-in style which was a delight!
It seems like the old MOMA circuit was better than this one. Thanks UNIQLO for the free Friday visits!!!!!
We had not been to MOMA in over 15 years. Much has changed and much is the same. It's in the same place, and the building seems the same. The exhibits are always changing. But some items are still there. The coat room now uses cell phone numbers to check & reclaim items. You get a text message to your phone after checking your coat, and the text includes useful links to tour the museum. I did not check my small backpack, and I was told by a very nice guard that I could not wear it on my back - it was to be worn In the front.
We took the escalator up to the sixth floor. Then we walked each floor, looking at all the art - some 3D, some video, most static. Afterwards, we either used the stairs or took the escalator to the next floor down. On the third floor, we took a bathroom break. A very nice guard pointed us to the nearest bathrooms.
Surprise! At least 16 bathrooms are on the 3rd floor with no wait. And there is also one gender neutral bathroom. The sinks have soap, water AND dryer at each station. Now all of THAT is modern!
We kept going, and could have spent more than 2 hours here. But we were tired! We enjoyed our time here, and I especially enjoyed seeing the Picassos, Van Goghs, and a few other old masters.
