Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is a world-class museum by any standard. I have never been disappointed with their special exhibits or their collection. As a visitor, it’s essential to know a few things. You should purchase your tickets in advance, particularly for popular times of the year or during the opening of new exhibits. Better yet, become a member and take advantage of early access (typically 9:30 vs 10:30) and know that you are donating to a worthy cause. I’m not going to touch upon the art as we all appreciate different artists and styles; suffice it to say this is a modern art museum, so if you're looking for the masters, head uptown. There is a coat check in the basement, a washroom on every floor, and both escalators and elevators, as well as a lovely staircase. During the spring, summer, and fall, the sculpture garden is open and makes for a delightful place to sit.

Had a couple of hours to burn but that was not enough. A very expansive collection from a variety of artists. The building and layout were beautiful. NYC has a great collection of museums and this is one of them for sure. I'm just disappointed I didn't get to see everything but it's another reason for me to return.

Iconic pieces as well as artists that were new to me. Beautiful atmosphere, fairly easy to navigate and see everything at the rate of speed that works for you. I went only an hour before closing and got to see the art I wanted and didn’t feel too rushed. No wait to get in.

This is my favorite museum in New York. Very cool permanent exhibitions, cool rotating ones... And additional events such as music and films. They also have a great cafe and restaurant. And if you are lucky, the sculpture garden may be open for you to wander around... Also... a great store with awesome design items... If you are a NYC resident, you may want to check it out for free on the first Friday of the month, uniqlo nights - you need to sign up and request a free ticket.

This is an incredible museum. I could easily spend an entire day here and not run out of things to look at. There is even a room where you get to draw called a creative lab. I believe the best experience comes from listening to the audio explanations for specific paintings. They go more in depth into what the art pieces mean and what the artist was thinking when they created it.
