Ryan C.August 28, 2014Great museum with reasonable admission fee. One of the coolest architectures in #NYC.
Marvin HoffmannSeptember 27, 2017Make sure to check the exhibitions in advance. During my visit half of the museum was closed. Admission was reduced, but I would have preferred full price and full museum.
Emilie FuttermanAugust 10, 2015Take your time and think about how the art fits in the space. Great place to sit and meditate for a bit.

Jul PuhMarch 29, 2015Temporary exhibitions aren't so special, but Kandinsky exhibition is all that I needed😍
Varun ShettyDecember 28, 2012Come for the art and the building. Stay for the surreal experience of New York parents explaining Picasso to 5 year olds.
CompassApril 24, 2014Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural dream rivals the concept-driven modern art exhibits inside the museum.

Candice RiveraOctober 30, 2015The building structure is a work of art and then it houses some of the most exciting exhibits!
SinPlantillaOctober 6, 2013As in all NYC Museums, beware of the guardian dogs. Owners don't let them sit all day. They are fed visitors. They will attack if you stand too close to a painting.
