Whitney Museum of American Art

Whitney Museum Free Fridays! I must recommend checking the Whitney out in the summer! They offer free entry from 5pm to 10pm. You can go online and get your tickets. Which I highly recommend so entry is a breeze. This was my first time at the Whitney and it was just amazing. Once you enter there is a security check and a DJ playing music on the First Floors. Gift shop and a Restaurant is also located on the first floor as well as a cafe on one of the upper floors. The museum has several floors of art. They also have lots of outdoor space that overlooks the city. If you’re in the city on a Friday this is a great place to visit. I will surely try my best to check it out again.

Very astounding museum which houses multiple collections including the Biennial Exhibition now showing today, through the summer months. Amazing works of art, many outstanding iconic paintings by Warhol, Hopper, O’Keefe, to name some of the most famous art pieces known in the 20th century. The museum has a beautiful indoor outdoor cafe that overlooks Gansevoort Street looking out towards the waterfront. There are spectacular vantage points giving visitors a panoramic viewing of the Hudson River to New Jersey from upstairs on the uppermost floors. Another great cafe and bar also allows a bit of respite indoors or outside while sipping on some fresh coffee drinks, spirits, cocktails, wine or beer too. The eating menu is limited but there are sandwiches, pastries, cookies, and small salads also served at the counter. A truly delightful way to spend an afternoon in Chelsea, next to many fashionable stores and boutiques in the same location.

Enjoyed the Biennale exhibition. It took me about 2 1/2 hours to walk through it by myself and got to watch some of the video pieces. It was not overwhelming and people was very respectful of others and the art. The museum has a great terrace and is located in a beautiful and trendy area of NYC and a great spot to walk the high line afterwards.

This place needs no introduction: a fine collection of contemporary art. Currently on display the biennial 2024. A great plus is that the floors here are not vast or extremely complicated like museums tend to be. So a visit here can be broken up to a more bite size experience (even for kids). In addition the balconies provide fresh air, great views of the city, art and the Hudson river. There are two restaurants one on the terrace with views of the city and one near the entrance. Checkout the website for free entry days and free guided tours of the exhibition (first come first serve no registration needed, just show up before the tour starts to take your spot). When you're done it's just a short stroll to Chelsea market to recharge with great food and drinks before you leave the high realms of art and go on with your day. Alternatively, you could enjoy a beautiful walk along the High Line.
