The Modern at The MoMA, USHG Reviews

Went on one of their free Friday events. Very crowded but still nice. Definitely like to go back on a normal day to spend more time.

A classic NYC experience. Lots of good stuff here and the name speaks for itself. The museum design store is also fun and the cafe is famous, too. Only problem is that it gets too busy sometimes.

The Museum is an American Treasure. Plenty of pieces to inspire and amaze.

I mean, it's not the Tate Modern, but highly recommend a visit. A great mix of old and new art, with stunning old masters mixed with modern masterpiece. Take a moment in the garden, stillness in the heart of a busy city.

An amazing museum to visit. There are a lot of very famous pieces of artwork there and it is definitely a full day trip. The line to get in may be a little long at times but it is definitely worth it because they have every different genre of art. Not just modern art. You can also just preorder your tickets online to skip out on the line. It's a very fun place and museum to go for the day and I would recommend it.

What a great collection!
A bit too crowded.

Always amazing! I like to focus on one area. Do your research before you go so you are able see your favorites and not have to backtrack.

Recently remodeled, I admit I cannot see the changes. The idea of glass walls between portions of the floors is unique among public spaces-whether this adds conceptual dimension is arguable. Viewing boxes to the outside world was popular when I visited, these black-glass forms were always crowded. The placing and spacing of iconic pieces has always been a strong point with MOMA, I vote for even more juxtaposition of pics from different periods. Part of our everyday cultural religion is contained here, take some time to visit and review!

Spent hours here. Very awesome exhibits and well known artists. Docents very knowledgeable as well. Get the free iPhone tour thing, very cool.

Always good to visit a museum especially in NYC. It s like traveling the world.

The MOMA is an amazing art museum, definitely one of the best in NYC.

Easy to walk, plenty to see, a little crowded but I guess that is to be expected in a place that houses famous paintings and many other fantastic instillations.

The collections are amazing, really a wonderful selection of masterpieces. The air conditioning in the museum is though just crazy and really oblige you to run crossing the rooms. I suggest to wear warm clothes in order to appreciate the visite without freezing.

One of the best museums in the entire world. It's easy to spend hours here, and even the most casual art fan will have no trouble recognizing the most famous works on display. It truly is a treasure trove and a must visit when in NYC.

Superb! I stopped to ask a couple of ladies (who I believe were volunteers) about a particular artist whose work I wanted to see. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. They were both wearing VERY funky glasses.
Wonderful art - around every corner I was pleasantly surprised to find original artworks which I recognised only from reproductions.
The audio guide was good, although I thought it was aimed at a demographic with quite a low reading age.

Loved all beautiful art. Facilities we're world class.

One of the most interesting Museums in the world. A litle disorganized signage. Elevators don't work

Hands down one of the best museums I have been to and a must see for Modern Art. Such a large and vast range of works and worth the visit just to see Starry Night which is much larger in person. The temporary exhibition of Francis Picabia was also another highlight.

Lots to see. Was able to give my daughter the best gift, she saw The Starry Night by Van Gogh!

Quite crowded and not extremely well organized but worth the wait.

Terrific permanent and special collections. Garden is beautiful. Great hands on educational area for kids to learn and create their own art.

You need one full day for visiting the entire museum (maybe even more). If you like contemporary art, this place is awesome for you... if not, maybe you will feel disappointed looking at some paintings and sculptures!

I'm sorry MoMA, I really want to love you :/ MoMA is like Tate Modern in London, I would argue, where the hype doesn't quite translate into real substance. I much prefer the MET, Guggenheim, and other smaller museums.

Great place to appreciate a plethora of artists with Friday nights after 4pm being free admission. Crowds are not for everyone but the size and scope of the collection more then makes up for it.

Beautiful museum with amazing art. Definitely worth it.

One of my favorite museums in the city. A good variety of exhibits should provide enough to entertain a variety of interest. At a recent trip, in just a few hours, got to enjoy exhibits on architecture, video games, film and of course paintings.

The redesigned museum is amazing. Of six floors, I was only able to fully explore three, spending an hour on each. The place is huge! Plan your trip accordingly, well worth it!

Wonderful classics in amongst some unusual pieces. Signage could be better.

Well put together museum. Had many classical pieces for big time artists that I didn't know were housed here.

Have been to Prado, Piscasso's museum in Malaga and MoMA in SF in past year. This stood up perfectly well.

Place was packed due to Saturday afternoon, but staff was trained well enough to handle masses.

Wish I hadn't put a time restraint on myself. So much to see. Will be back.

Amazing art. Tickets are a bit expensive. But if you really enjoy it and appreciate it it's completely worth it.

Really cool. The best place to see modern art. Went there for free with UniQlo a friday

The MET is a must when in NY. As a greek I felt at home due to many greek/ roman exhibits but the collection is international and quite impressive.

My mother asked me if a robbery had taken place because the art was missing. If you are not an art aficionado or interested in the abstract or non-classical art, then I would only come on Fridays when admission is free. The general lack of indoor seating is understandable - it is NYC - but people mistook an art piece for a chic looking bench.

Gorgeous ! Really addicted to MoMA.
Was missing so hard

This amazing establishment has my heart for life!!!!

Great building. Friday night is free which is awesome (but unsurprisingly super busy).

My favourite piece was this contemporary semi trailer parked out front with a Dale's Pale Ale sign, very Andy Warhol indeed.

Beautiful museum ... All futuristic and modern! I love

Sophisticated and well located museum in the heart of New York City. Many Picaso s

Amazing and crowded. I enjoyed the Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit especially.

Very beautiful museum with amazing staff. They are willing to help you see what you want to see.

Very cool to see art from van gogh, Frida khalo, Pablo piccaso and more.

Classy museum. During summertime, Friday evening events in the garden are a must. Good quality time

Awesome museum, and definitely worth it. Some companies in New York have company memberships, and their guests are discounted, so when I went with a friend from D.E. Shaw, I got in for just $5.

Starry Night is cool, but there are a lot of really fantastic pieces and exhibitions that come and go. When I was there there was a really cool architecture exhibit, and also a collection of small, colorful building models.

I think this is a must-see for anyone visiting New York City. The museum is very well-curated and has some wonderful exhibitions. I've come here one time before five years ago and there were many new exhibitions so it is worth visiting several times.

It has some amazing masterpieces - my favorites are Van Gogh's Starry Night and The Olive Trees. Both are magnificient pieces.

The most important too I can give is that the museum is free on Fridays from 4:00 to 8:00 thanks to UNIQLO. I always go on a Friday when in New York and it is always worth it.

As with most museums we visited, the MoMA was extremely beautiful. The exhibitis are displayed very nicely, so that even if there is a crowd taking pictures you can still get to see it.
Very interesting artwork displayed, especially from newer artists which is always important.
Tip: go on a Friday between 4-8 p.m. It will be crowded, but if you're there before 5 it'll still be ok to move around freely

Love love love. Shagal, Monet and Van Gogh. Mush see.

Second favorite museum in NYC. Great collections, and the architecture is awesome. Definitely a must-see in NYC if you're visiting.

A museuem I could live in! It really transports you to the art that the streets hide, in this little building exist the expressions of artist who felt something so we can feel something - grateful and will be back again

For 25$ you can currently only see 3 floors, be aware of that before the rebuild is finished.

Museum was free for the day I went... although I can appreciate free things, this only made the museum uncomfortably crowded and longer to get around. They should have limited the amount of entries at once.

I would have enjoyed it more if at least some of it was kid friendly.

Don t get me wrong, this is a great museum. But they have put all the very famous artists work on floor 5 (Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso) and you can barely walk on that floor there are so many people. We were told to wait to go up to that floor because it was at full capacity. The art is very nice, though. And they have a nice style variation. Just a few spacing problems, that is all!

Lots to see! We appreciated the Miro exhibition. Roomy galleries with well-displayed works Restaurant good but expensive.

A terrific collection in an appropriate setting. Pick a time that is not crowded.

Cool art museum with some interesting exhibits. Packed with people trying to take pictures, which was annoying. The bummer was that the museum was under extensive renovation and expansion when I visited though hence it seems like the selection were limited.

It has Starry Night by Van Gogh! One of my all time favorite paintings.

go to the fifth floor first!!!! Absolutely phantastic works of art there. Also I love the huge room with works by Brancusi. Must go to Museum of NYC!

The remodel made this great museum even greater. All the big names in modern art are here: Picasso, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Brancusi, etc. Classes for sketching are sometimes available here if you buy a ticket. Definitely worth it to become a member as well!

Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed by MoMA. For a $25 entry, the museum is actually not that big, and your experience will depend a lot on the exhibits they choose to have on when you go. If you only go to one art gallery in NYC, I'd recommend the Met.

Bring your student ID to get a $14 entrance fee Vs. $25 full price. The place has 7 floors (layers of hell). Nothing makes sense here and the floor layout is more confusing than IKEA. Prepare to spend at least 3 hours wandering the halls of the various preschool art projects and unlike IKEA, the meatballs in the cafeteria are not cheap. Overall, you are better off going to IKEA.

Rothko, Jasper Johns, Pollock, and Picasso. Boy howdy lots of impressive artist!

I was blown away by the art. A MUST visit for any art lover.

Of all the art museums in New York this has the most consistently good exhibitions. If they are showing an artist you go and see it - you won t be disappointed. Large a spacious building great exhibits the new wing is fabulous so much more space to show their perminate collection and these cubes which weigh 4 tons each

Very big place, good to know more about art and good place to spend time with family

Love going go MoMA. Went several times already. It's hard to finish walking the whole museum in a day. (As I like to take it slow).

With it if you have time to include PS1 location in Brooklyn. They free Friday evening is a big Hassel to get in. Always worthwhile..if not pricy for the average person.

Amazing art at every turn! Feature artist incorporated genius interactive displays. Could get lost in MOMA for days..

This was my second time visiting MoMA, and I'm not sure why, but I remember I wasn't too impressed with it the first time. It might have been the exhibits they had when I last went. I decided to give it another chance and this time around, I was blown away. I spent 3 hours here alone and was absorbed in everything the museum had to offer. One floor was closed for a new exhibit that was being built, but that didn't take away from everything else. I enjoyed the MoMA more than I expected!

One of the best museums in the world. I spend hours there every time I have a chance. Free Fridays is an amazing thing. Overcrowded during the tourist season

Eh, too crowded and two exhibits plus the sculpture garden were closed. Best part of the museum was the paintings. Picasso, Klempt, Matisse, and Degas are all there. I guess I'm just not a fan of modern art. Would have rather spent another day at the Met.

Great museum, especially if you can go for one of the free days. Very vast and interactive art, the kind you can get really close to. I love MoMa because you can see very interesting exhibits not shown anywhere else. Location is great and relatively easy to get to.

My favorite museum in New York. I love the exhibitions, also the decorations, and garden.
