Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)

The Museum of Modern Art is an absolute must if you appreciate creativity in all its forms. The collection is incredible, with iconic works you recognize instantly alongside pieces that challenge you to slow down and really think about what you’re seeing. It’s the kind of place where every floor feels completely different, but all of it works together. What stood out most was how accessible the museum feels, even with world-famous art on the walls. Whether it’s painting, sculpture, photography, film, or design, everything is curated in a way that invites curiosity instead of intimidation. You can spend time with a single piece or move through entire sections and still feel like you’re getting something meaningful out of it. We visited in January, which made the experience even better. The crowds were manageable, giving us space to take things in without being rushed. Being able to stand in front of major works and actually absorb them—without constantly stepping aside for foot traffic—made a huge difference. MoMA isn’t just about looking at art; it’s about ideas, perspective, and how creativity reflects the world we live in. Whether you’re deeply into art or just want to experience something inspiring, this museum delivers. Easily one of the highlights of our time in New York.

Definitely a great museum to visit and explore. Getting your tickets is fairly easy as you can get them online, or get them there which is to the left after you enter. After than go to the very right and there should be an escalator that brings you upstairs where they will scan your ticket prior to you entering. I’m definitely not an art connoisseur but the main reason I came here is because I wanted to see paintings from Van Gogh, Picasso, Dali and Monet (all floor 5) which are all artists that I heard about as early as elementary. How often do you get a chance to see a piece of art that has been through the test of time and still maintains its significance. Although those paintings are my main reason for coming here, I did enjoy going through the other pieces of art. The thing that is really entertaining about this museum is that they have so many different arts in different mediums as each room has its own style and continually progresses. You aren’t stuck in one genre such as renaissance where everything begins to look the same. Overall the experience took me about 1hr 50min with me going through everything but also kind of speeding through some pieces that I had no interest in.

Spent part of my day here and still didn’t get to look at everything! This museum is giant and maze like with tons of art but such a good experience. The capsule home exhibition they have was the main reason behind our visit, and then we spent another 2.5 hours looking at the 5th and 4th floors. There’s truly so much to see and this is not a one day visit by any means. The museum can get very busy and some popular pieces like the starry night might be harder to get to. The notecards and information is all simple, easy to understand and super informative. It is a very popular museum but you can tell great care and love goes into every exhibit.

What a breathtaking, beautiful & peaceful museum. Every art tells a story and every corner it’s just immaculate! The staffs were friendly, helpful and very nice and the museum itself looked very organized & easy to follow. Also, don’t get me started on their little outside area that they have, such a beautiful spot to just chill & take a moment to relax. I definitely recommend getting tickets online ahead of time and get there early as well! 10/10 experience, I will definitely be coming back 🖼️.

Visited here on a Wednesday and because it’s such a large building it didn’t seem crowded, but there was a line for the coat and bag check which is a nice feature. You can look, watch, observe and even touch some art pieces, without having to carry your coat and maybe bags if you’ve been shopping already. I learned that art really is in the eye of the beholder and can be in many forms. ANYTHING can be art! I started at the top on the 6th floor and worked my way down. They do have elevators for accessibility and they have a cafe that serves food and beverages. I didn’t eat there, I was overwhelmed by the art. They tell you only pictures, no fancy cameras and no videos. I spent well over 3 hours here just looking and reading about artist and their works. Some things I walked right by, others caught my eye. Some artists encourage you to be a part of their art others are hands off. Some warn you that you might be misted with water. Oh and some tickets give you admission to other sights to see in the city or a discount to see other sights.
