The Museum of Modern Art

What makes this review impressive for me, I’m not the biggest fan of musuems/​art galleries, call me ‘simple’, not ‘worldly’ but I am often bored, would rather do something else (different strokes…). MOMA is different (modern part helps!), great displays, quality of art; really loved it.

Yeah this is a MUST DO when you come to New York. It’s hip, it’s cool and it’s not overwhelming. I feel you can check out one floor and if you’re done then its easy to walk right out. I’m not an art expert by any means, but I can appreciate the collections of Picasso, Warhol, Basquiat, Van Gogh, and Rothko.
It’s located right in Midtown so I could easily check out 30 Rock, eat at Halal Guys and walk across the street to the MoMa. They can also give you these cool headphones that let you learn more about any painting inside the museum.

If living in NYC and needs some inspiration, just go!
I love the MOMA and you can never be wrong about spending time surrounded by master pieces.
I went for some Monday inspiration and it was very helpful. Andy Warhol, Pollock, and many other astonishing artworks will leave a great impression in you.

Visita obligada si estás en Nueva York. El MoMA no sólo es un museo insigne de la ciudad sino también del arte moderno a nivel mundial.
El museo es enorme; podés hacer una recorrida rápida en una tarde, pero si te gusta el arte y disfrutás de los museos sugiero ir a la mañana y recorrer tranquilo. El precio de la entrada es elevado como para ir dos veces (25 USD), pero si mostrás libreta universitaria pagás la mitad y los viernes por la tarde la entrada es gratuita. Para tener en cuenta si pensás ir más de una vez.
La arquitectura es un estilo moderno y además de la sala cuenta con un café, biblioteca, tienda y un patio hermoso. Las exposiciones no sólo abarcan obras de arte moderno, también se encuentran artistas contemporáneos que exponen obras fotográficas, dibujos, diseños y esculturas entro otros. Dentro de su muestra permanente hay artistas famosísimos como Picasso, Dali, Monet, Pollock, Van Gogh y Andy Warhol. Y por supuesto, aloja sus obras más populares.
No por nada es uno de los museos más importantes de arte moderno del mundo. Vale la pena visitarlo al menos unas horas y perderse entre sus salas. Recomiendo visitar la tienda, si sos millonarios probablemente puedas conseguir un buen libro; si sos pobre al menos vas a pasar un ratito mirando cosas lindas. Y si el arte no te cabe ni un poco al menos visitalo para sacarte la foto cliché con las latas de sopa Campbell de Warhol de fondo: tu instagram lo aclama.

Obviously this place will get packed on the weekend. Pro-​tip: avoid the weekend.
Being a lover of art of all forms I have been eager to visit the MoMA for years now. I must say… I was extremely underwhelmed. Partly because my timing was off since so many exhibits were closed off. Partly because my expectations were so high.
The best parts of this museum are the LEAST modern pieces of art. Expect to see «garbage transformed into art» kind of art… I love the art of recycling and repurposing but it needs to be executed well, or just… executed. Of course this is subjective, but I literally saw random crushed cans and one plastic bag zip-​tied to a pole. I’ve used plastic bags from the street as media before, so I get it… but… I didn’t get it at ALL at the MoMA. But now I have an idea how to keep my trash bags from flying away when I go camping.
I’ll give the MoMA the benefit of doubt and blame it on bad timing, but I don’t think I’d be inclined to pay $ 25 admission to try again. At least I was able to cross quite a few paintings off of my bucket list.

It’s alright I guess. I came here on Friday night for free, and the line actually moved quickly. I got in in probably less than ten minutes of waiting in line. It was really crowded though (typical New York problem). I grabbed an audio guide (free!) before heading up to find the paintings I wanted to see. Every floor has a desk with people who can tell you where the pantings are! So, I successfully found Starry Night by Van Gogh and Water Lilies by Claude Monet, and I saw Picasso and Andy Warhol works on the way as well. Those were the paintings I actually wanted to see, so after that, I left. I’m not a big museum fan, and I wouldn’t have come here if it weren’t free (which also explains why I left after thirty minutes). But, if you like modern art, come check it out! Might be worth it to pay for a non-​Friday night though, because it’s probably more enjoyable without all the people.

I got to visit MoMA for the first time a few weeks ago, and I eventually lost track of the number of times I was blown away. It took a bit of a while to get to that point, but I got there and stayed there. I would hold this on par with the Met and with the Art Institute of Chicago.
My first step was to overcome my preconceptions… because I’m, you know, dumb and stuff, I expected MoMA was going to be full of (a) Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollack paintings, and (b) art made out of poo. There were a few Warhols on display, only one Pollack that I noticed, and though my girlfriend said she saw something with poo in it, I personally didn’t see any poo, anywhere. No «Jesus Made of Poo» or «Ronald Reagan Made of Poo» or «Marcia Brady Made of Poo» or anybody made of poo. Whew.
Although the art turned out to be essentially poo-​free, it was still somewhat challenging at first; there were some installations on the lower floors that stretched the definitions and landscapes of art, and I can confidently say that I didn’t «get» them, even after reading the descriptions on the placards.
We made our way up to the fourth floor, where there was a year-​by-​year retrospective of art from the 1960s. It was pretty cool to walk through a progression from pop art in the early 60s to the psychedelia and protest art of the late 60s… in retrospect I wish I had gone through this loop twice.
Then we got up to the fifth floor, and the collections of Picassos, Van Goghs, Monets, Gaugins, Cezannes, Matisses, Rothkos, and a Wyeth here, a Hopper there… it was just staggering, especially the room with the two colossal Monets on opposite walls.
I feel a bit boring and lame for going to MoMA and feeling most deeply moved by masterpieces made by dead white men, but I certainly can’t deny the greatness of their work nor the impact of seeing so much of it all together in one place. Going through the contemporary stuff and the 1960s loop a second time might have helped me reconnect with art by a greater diversity of artists… next time I’m here I’ll try to do that. And hopefully there still won’t be any poo art. I’m not ready to go there.

If you haven’t been to MoMA, please add it to your next itinerary to NYC. On a Friday afternoon in March, this place seemed like this was the place to be!
It was a bit surreal to see Van Gogh’s original «Starry Night» and/​or Andy Warhol’s Cambell’s Soup Cans in person. I was impressed by how close I could get to these one of a kind and priceless works of art.
Overall, it was disappointing that the sculpture garden was closed and that the fourth floor was getting remolded at the time of my visit. Special shout out to the gift shop. Such a great selection of merchandise!
I left as the Uniqlo free night folks were coming in. It was somewhat terrifying to see the hordes of people coming in at one time. I imagine the scene is similar to what sales associates see working on black Friday.

I had never been to MOMA before until last week. I feel like I have been committing a heinous crime by not viewing this fantastic museum within so many years of living here. One of my good friends said they had a year-​long membership as well as his wife and asked if I’d like to attend over the weekend and. .. why the heck not! SO many amazing paintings and pieces I have always wanted to see but was too lazy to get my butt here or spend money. Yeah, I know it’s free on friday evenings; but have you ever seen the line friday night for MOMA?! I have and have walked away from it at least three times to most inevitably and likely embark on happy hour instead. Though during the weekday or even weekend it wasn’t too crowded and you could breathe and enjoy every room in peace.
My favorite artists regularly shown were Van Gogh, Andrew Wyeth, Picasso, Pollock, Cezanne, and a special exhibit on one of my favorites Degas. Plenty of Impressionist era painting exhibits. Seeing the big ones of Andy Warhol was a treat. The original Marilyn Monroe, done in honor of her death. The Campbell soup piece. Then there is also the questionable pieces of blank canvases with a black stripe or the big red one. They are classic and kind of awesome in their own way.
Another section takes you on a trip through every year that’s themed from the 1960’s decade. A special exhibit on miniature construction pieces that was from Pritzker Prize winners Toyo Ito and Sanaa.
Additionally, a mesmerizing garden to get lost in with beautiful hanging trees, blooming flowers, water fountain ponds, and epic sculptures.

Our visit could be best described as «The Museum of Mostly Stuff from the 60’s with a lot of other sections that are closed, too bad for you».
We had visited MOMA many years ago and I remembered loving it, mostly because of the awesome Chuck Close retrospective going on at the time. Don’t get me wrong, the permanent collections are pretty great — I especially appreciated that items from the 60’s were sectioned by year, and included different mediums and sometimes appropriate music. I also enjoyed the Marcel Broodthaers exhibition — I was not familiar with him before so it was nice to be exposed to something new.
As a few people have mentioned, this place gets absolutely insane packed. It’s probably time to start doing timed tickets or something, because some of the galleries were too full to be enjoyable. Also, to the 5000 asswipes who have to take a selfie with «Starry Night», fuck you — you’re blocking up the entire gallery because you have to have a picture with the painting you had on your dorm room wall in college? There are several other fabulous Van Gogh’s literally steps away but of course no one is even looking at them…
I was disappointed that there was almost nothing to see after 1970 — the «current» galleries were closed for renovations as were all of the photography galleries. That made me sad, but also gives me a reason to come back another time.

The MoMA is a treasure not just for New York but for the entire country. Its modern art collection has few peers internationally.
Given that certain exhibits change regularly, it’s to write anything that will be of use to a future visitor. When we visited, the rotating exhibits included one the MoMA described as «shocking.» In my view, there’s nothing particularly shocking about the one work that depicted silhouettes of a few sex acts, but, hey, pearls must be clutched. There was also a performance art piece that seemed to involve a guy sleeping in various positions on a couch, which I’m sure some art reviewer somewhere has called «riveting.» Different strokes, man. Know that, like any museum, certain areas (and even entire floors) can be out of commission while they prepare new exhibits.
Summary: State of the art.

I have a warm place in my heart for MOMA which dates back some time. The space here is so nice. The open layout makes it easy to get around and see everything. I enjoy seeing all of the mixed mediums used, anything from actual crushed cans to pieces of plastic and wood, anything you can think of.
Their featured art exhibitions are great. I was fortunate enough to catch the Salvadore Dali one a while back. Currently they are showing the work of Henry Degas. The sculpture garden is lovely too.
What I like about this museum is one can spend a couple hours walking through and get to see almost everything, which also makes it nice if you are bringing children or people who aren’t the biggest art fans.

Came here on on rainy day and it was packed. Some really fantastic art here. Defiantly
a must see when you are in New York.

I received a free pass to visit here through my school so figured I should check it out. I will preface this review by saying I’m in no way very knowledgable or experienced when it comes to art or museum, but even I found MoMA to be very impressive and enjoyable. We started up at the sixth floor and worked our way down. There’s something for everyone here — drawing, sculpture, painting, photography, and much much more. There were some really interesting exhibits when we visited, but also lots under construction. Weekends are packed so plan accordingly. Fridays 4 – 8 pm are free, but come with long lines. Adult tickets are $ 25/​person otherwise.
The lines are long so it’s best to buy tickets online in advance so you can avoid the ticketing line. Check the site if you’re hoping to see something special or specific, as sometimes exhibits are temporarily closed for installation.

No te dan los ojos para ver tanta maravilla junta.
Así podría concluir mi reseña, pero me enamoró tanto el MoMA, que voy a seguir…
Arrancamos que los 25 dólares de entrada duelen, SI, pero les re juro que vale la pena.
Te dan ipods con Guías de cada obra en tu idioma, y lo mejor es que pones tu e-​mail y te envían tu recorrido y las fotos que sacaste con el aparato. QUE ATENTOS!
Cuenta con una inmensa colección, que reúné a los mejores y más importantes artistas de los últimos tiempos: Pollock, Picasso, Klimt, Van gogh, Matisse, Warhol, Monet, Mondrian, Sigo? Miren que sigo eh… no basta son muchos.
Lo bueno es que hay obras importantísimas y de conocimiento popular como La Danza de Matisse o Señoritas de avignon de Picasso.
Wi– fi gratis, y recomiendo dedicarle el día entero, porque es un antes y un después…
No digas que no te avisé.

Another staple of NYC. MoMA was not as big as I expected, which is not a bad thing. The six floor layout spread the exhibits in a way that made it enjoyable for someone who hasn’t been to many museums to see all the exhibits without feeling overwhelmed. We were debating going Friday evening or Saturday morning and I am glad we ended up going Friday evening! They offer FREE entrance from 4 pm to 8 pm on Fridays thanks to Uniqlo. As for the exhibits, everyone and anyone is able to enjoy what MoMA offers. Klint, Monet, Kahlo, Picasso, Van Gogh, they are all there. Not too time consuming either, you can get through the whole thing in about 2 – 3 hours easily.

I love it here so much. I come to visit here as much as I could. I find it interesting some of these work of arts. Exhibits are great to.

Large enough to keep you busy for ½ day. You will want to have lunch there too. Remember the suggested rate to pay is just that. I paid full fare for a stupid tourist in NYC and heard the latest story that the rate is just a suggestion. Donation appropriate.
This museum is noisy like the Smithsonian. Lots and Lots of staff.

The original MoMA… what’s not to love?
Gorgeous exhibits, amazing tours and beautiful art.
Can’t wait to visit NYC again to check this place out again.

Note — This review reflects a private tour on ²⁄₁₃
What an excellent experience! The lady and I needed to attend a wedding on Valentine’s Day so we celebrated the occasion a day early. I knew dinner was in the equation, but I wanted to try something different beforehand. It was to my delight, when scouring the MoMA’s calendar on their website, that they were offering «Valentine Tours.» I contacted group services to inquire about the event, and they were extremely responsive and helpful. As a result, I purchased tickets and we were on our way.
The event started after the museum closed to the public (5:30 pm) and lasted for about an hour and a half. There was no dress code, though most people were in business casual attire. It began with a reception with all the guests (approximately 80 – 100 people), including champagne, wine, and hors d’oeuvres. We were then separated into smaller groups and given a private guided tour of the museum. Our guide was friendly, encouraged questions, and very knowledgeable of the works of art we viewed. Some of my favorites included Picasso’s «Three Musicians,» van Gogh’s «The Starry Night,» Dali’s «Persistence of Memory,» Chagall’s «I and the Village,» and Monet’s «Water Lilies.» The Jackson Pollock exhibition was also impressive.
It was great to view to museum’s prized works with a knowledgeable guide in an intimate setting. I highly recommend trying it!

I’m lucky to live in this city because of places like MoMA. I was able to get a free year of membership with the NYC ID card. Woo hoo, no more fighting the crowds on Free Fridays.
Starry Night, the Matisse room, and the Waterlilies are a must for me every visit. I also like to plan my visit with an interesting film since it is included with admission. They have a great selection of old classics, obscure but enjoyable, and more modern movies.

Imposible no 5 starrear el MoMA. Simplemente perfecto, enorme, ecléctico y lleno de cosas geniales.
Me parece algo caro, 25 dólares no es joda en ningún lugar del mundo. Pero que se yo, recorrer esos paneles, todas las muestras modernas y falopa combinadas con los pisos de arte clásico que podes ver obras famosísimas de van gough, klimt, monet, picasso, pollock y más. Es una locura.
Podes pasar horas recorriendo y observando las obras. Pensando hasta el infinito sobre los delirios del universo y esos artistas. O podes usar el free wifi para escuchar los recorridos en varios idiomas, sentarte en uno de los cafés y restaurantes internos, comprar réplicas, etc.
Parada esencial para cualquier persona visitando New York.

#1 favorite museum! Perfect size: enough stuff to entertain an art lover for the better part of an afternoon, small enough to not feel overwhelmed or like you’re gonna miss something.
Kahlo, Klimt, Duchamp, Van Gogh, and Monet.
So so happy to see a large scale Kara Walker piece here!
Make sure to bring a student ID if you got it and check out the book store! They had some really great autographed books when I popped in.

I was lucky this weekend for three reasons:
1 – I applied for my free membership to the MoMA. I now can enter the MoMA for free for an entire year. For my fellow New Yorkers who have not gotten their free NYC ID card yet, get it!!! It will get you FREE admission to the many cultural treasures this city has to offer. And the NYC ID cards are FREE too!!!
2 – I got to see the Picasso Sculptures exhibit, which ends next weekend. It was an amazing collection. My photos do not do it justice. I would highly recommend that people try to catch this exhibit before it is over.
3 – I got to walk through one of the crown jewels of NYC’s art museums. In addition to Picasso’s sculptures, you can see many of his paintings, as well as paintings by Pollack (an entire gallery!), Chagall, Klimt, Matisse, and many others. The MoMA is 6 floors of pure artistic heaven.
Just a warning: it can get very crowded, especially on weekends and Friday evenings (there is free admission on Friday evenings). Be prepared to wait on long lines (unless you are a member) and to walk among many people. However, the wait is oh so worth it.
Part of me wants to drop my rating down a star for the $ 25 adult admission (I wish that they could be more like the Met, where you pay what you want). However, you can still visit for free on Friday evenings.
I definitely plan to visit the MoMA more this year!!!

What a great experience! We went while the special sculptures exhibit from Picasso was on the 4^th floor. What a large collection of rare artwork.
I highly recommend checking this out if you are an art enthusiast and even if you are new to art there is something for everyone.
The most well known masterpiece there is Van Gogh’s Starry Night! (in my opinion) You can stand right in front of this masterpiece and just take it all in.
Overall it was easy to navigate through the whole museum in a few hours. I purchased a combo package with the Top of the Rock tickets and saved $ 10 each. If you are going to be in NYC for a long day or weekend I think this is the way to go. Enjoy

Every art lover’s dream! Stop by when in NY! So much to see. Some iconic historic pieces here. Your history book comes to life! There have a gift /​book shop as well. Inexpensive to pricey trinkets for the art lover in you!

only giving it 4 stars because it was 25 dollars per person without a groupon!
so pricey to look at art,
during my snow weekend (1.23.2016) lots of people where here, Matt an i had a weird encounter with a security guard but that was it
had fun playing the «how does it make you feel?» game with all the sculpted pieces
i’d come back… on a groupon.

I’m not sure how to review such a world famous museum… But what an amazing place! I was lucky enough to get to visit MoMa on a recent holiday trip to NYC. I was pretty excited to see the Picasso display was still on site as well as of course the other amazing pieces of artwork on display. Yes, some of the rooms were crowded and yes at times it was hard to move around but this is what you get when you come to a famous museum, especially if you visit on a weekend. On future trips I will be sure to come back to see everything all over again!

Ever since I was a photography student in high school, the Museum of Modern Art has been one of my NYC mainstays. There is something about the energy in the space and the colorful masterpieces on the walls that always draw me back in.
Why you should visit:
–a truly impressive selection of art from around the world, from Matisse to Warhol.
–«Starry Night» by Vincent van Gogh. Enough said. There’s nothing like seeing it in person.
–fascinating exhibits — I enjoyed the Picasso sculpture exhibit when I visited a few days ago.
–the occasional art works that will keep you guessing as to what you’re looking at — there is nothing quite like an artistic challenge! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all.
–the Sculpture Garden is perfect for viewing the area’s architecture and endless people-​watching in the sun.
–its location — if you’re visiting the Rockefeller Center area, the MoMA is a short walk away!
–its affordability for students — only $ 14 with student ID.
The MoMA will have my heart forevermore, and I miss it when I am not there!

Went to MoMa on a Saturday for Julie’s 16^th bday. I feel it’s pricey to get in and really not much to see. The modern art on the first floor I just don’t get. I’m not an art guy so I guess that’s why I don’t get it. The art from years ago is magnificent. There is a Picasso exhibit there and to me that’s art. Loved it and so did everyone else. You can do the whole museum in under 2 hours. All in all we had a great time but I would not return. Once is enough.

I’ve been wanting to check out MoMa for a while now, and the exhibits were really fascinating, but I blame myself for giving it 3 stars, because we went at peak hours on a Saturday afternoon (on a holiday weekend!). It was just SO CROWDED. You could barely move around without getting bumped into, so it was hard to really enjoy the artwork and appreciate it to the fullest.
The museum, however, was really neat to walk around. The Picasso exhibit was great. It was also super exciting to finally see Starry Night.
I would recommend taking an early work day and getting there during the week around 3:30/4. That should give you about 2 hours to wander around and explore, and from my opinion, I think 2 hours is sufficient to get a taste of everything. Although, someone who really appreciates modern art could easily spend a day taking everything in.

Museum of Modern Art is one of the really cool muesum in NYC, as its location really close to the center, made it even easier to visit. So This place quite popular and busy all the time. Of course, the main reason because of the exhibition in the museum. It just offer great art works. Inside the museum also got free wifi, so visitor can download thier app and get to know each art work better. It’s reall thoughtful.
Although it was full of people when I was here, it didn’t take long to get the tickets, it was much faster than i expected. there got different lines for different kind of the tickets. I hold the New York city Pass, which they got special line for that. After I got the ticket, I took the lift,
went from the topest floor and started my exploring from there. There were many exhibitions, it was about 3 – 4 different one each floor and each of them got at least 3 showcase rooms. at the end of the day I spent about half day there. I did check out all the exhibitions here. Some of areas I just have a quick over view though, because of the timing. I found many of them really interested and inspired. such as Painting & Sculpture at the fourth floor, Picasso Sculpture, The Arcadian Modern and many others. Yes, I did check out some great works from Vincent van Gogh as well. For visitor who only has limited time to visit this museum, I suggest you can start from the thrid floor.
I really like the MoMa, the exhibitions chance quite often here. So try to visit there website to check out what kind of the exhibition they helds, then you won’t miss any which you might interested at. After the museum, I also went around thier shop, it was quite interesing, although most of the items were really expensive. It was still great place to hang around and to inspired. I am sure MoMA is one of the museums which I would like to visit and visit again.

Art, art and more art. I just love MoMA. And now I am trying my best to have my 4 year old daughter immersed in the world of art. It was a father-​daughter date in an awesome museum.
This is a must visit museum for local art lovers like me and also to New York CIty tourists. Paintings from renowned artist like Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Van Gogh, etc. There is also a Photographic section in this museum which I find interesting. Well, thats a given since I’m a photographer myself. ;)
My tour in this museum was cut short because my daughter is kinda getting bored on the stuffs she was seeing. Before we left home I told her we are visiting a museum of paintings and she was excited when I said that. The problem is her interpretation of painting is giving her a brush, a color pallette and a canvas where she herself will do the painting. Such a sweet girl. =)
I will definitely going to visit (alone) this museum again in the near future.

Me fascina el arte moderno así que no ir al moma no era una opción. Fui un viernes, ya que era gratis y me encanto, era como un conjunto de muchas obras que uno ve siempre por fotos. Les dejo unas aclaraciones que espero sirvan!
1.el museo es bastante grande así que recomiendo que vayan con tiempo
2.estuve por alla hace 3 semanas y no estaban las obras de Andy Warhol lo me decepcionó bastante
lleven mochilas (ni siquiera pequeñas) para ahorrarse tiempo del guardarropa

Musée incontournable à faire à NY ! Une collection impressionnante et qui vaut le détour (je pense surtout à Nuit étoilée de Van Gogh que je rêvais de voir depuis des années).
Ayant un budget limité quand je suis venue, j’ai tenté la visite gratuite (tous les vendredi soir) mais il faut être préparer à faire la file (extrêmement longue même si on avance assez rapidement) mais surtout, il faut être prêt à partager le musée avec énormément de gens ! J’ai beaucoup aimé ma visité au MoMa mais j’espère retourner à NY et faire ce musée de manière plus tranquille et pouvoir mieux apprécier les oeuvres qui s’y trouvent. Toutefois, pour ceux qui né sont intéressé que par quelques chefs d’oeuvres mais savent qu’ils né passeront pas la journée dedans ou qui veulent tâter le terrain avant de savoir si cela vaut la peine de payer et de prendre le temps d’y aller, la visite gratuite est une bonne idée.
Quoiqu’il en soit, né repartez pas de NY sans y avoir été !

Made MoMA the last stop from an all day Museum binge. Luckily for us it was on a Friday afternoon were admission is free so that’s something to think about if you’re planning on attending on a Friday.
Not as big as other museums in New York but still plenty to offer. You’ll be pleased to know that there’s world famous artwork by elite artists such as Picasso, Monet and Van Gogh, just to name a few, in four floors. FYI, this museum offers a larger variety of Picassos (even display his sculpture work) than the Metropolitan Museum of Art so that’s something to consider if you’re a Picasso geek. Also, their galleries change often so new exhibits will continue to keep MoMA exciting.
There’s a free coat check-​in which I recommend since it gets pretty warm inside.

Whether you love or hate popular modern art, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City offers something for everyone.
The six floors of MoMA house all types of modern art including anything from the French impressionists to very modern art that may not suit all tastes. I especially like the architecture of the building from the moment you enter. The glass lobby and open spaces present a challenge to fill and generally there is unusual art (and a helicopter) hanging from the ceiling.
Upper floors include one of my favorites — photography — along with special exhibitions. The various exhibits can be very diverse as on my latest visit, I believe I saw a Monet exhibition.
The permanent collection of the museum also includes some incredible artwork. Anything from Andy Warhol paintings to Giacometti sculptures are on display. If the weather permits, be sure to visit the MoMA sculpture garden on the ground floor where additional artwork can be viewed and amazing apartments are looking down at you.
There are couple of cafes are scattered throughout the museum. It’s always nice to have a drink on the fifth floor café and take in the view of the sculpture garden. Some of the tables, though, are not for those afraid of heights.
Next door to the museum and across the street is the MoMA Design Store, which focuses on well-​designed products from around the world. Anything from wine glasses that sit at an angle to very artistic Christmas cards are available. It’s pretty fun to just browse.
Even if you are not a fan of modern art, MoMA is definitely worth a visit. One thing to keep in mind is the admission is expensive at $ 20.00 per person. The best time to visit is on Friday evenings as U.S. retailer, Target, sponsors free Friday nights. Lines form early for the tickets as limited free admissions are available. It makes for a great evening.

The best place to be on Fridays from 4pm-​8pm (WHICH IS WHEN THIS PLACE IS FREE) on a rainy evening with a date.
–Plenty of varieties and themes, some exhibits make you wonder who’s 3 year old sister drew this, others were actually abstract, great for discussions and laughter.
–The place itself is massive with a few floors.
–Free posters
–Interesting also for people watching, catching a nap on the sides, or sheltering yourself from the rain outside.
–Plenty of security to ensure safety (since this place was understandably packed)
I would definitely return-​highly recommend (especially on FREE Fridays-​quite possibly the only thing in NYC that’s free, take advantage of this gem).

I just love this place!!! Love to walk around and sometimes just to sit and admire the beauty. MOMA has assembled one of the greatest collections of perfect
–Picaso
–Pollack
–Cezanne
–Van Gough
–Seauratte
–Kahlot
–Magritte
more more and more…
If you get there at an ‘off time’ you can catch some serenity in one of the galleries. Just you and magnificent art.
They have also assembled a fantastic staff here. All willing to help, and guid you through their various collections.
Make sure you check out their ticketed events. They are always special and well put together with artist history and stories.

What more can really be said about MOMA? I come here just about every visit and still amazing, one of the top art museums in the world.
Whether it is VanbGogh, Picasso, Wyeth, Dali, Warhol, or Chagall, it has some of the greatest art in the world. It often also has some great rotating exhibits, this time something on Cold War Eastern European art. Also fun to bring kids and have them question why some items are art.
The challenge is to try to come when it is not packed, probably right when they open. Not cheap, no discounts, but absolutely worthwhile.

One of the must see museums of NYC I always recommend to tourists. I have been here a couple of times, but I always go Friday nights when it is free from 4pm to 8pm. MoMa is a huge museum with the best collection of modern art (from the last 100 years or so) in the city. They have a lot of stuff from artists like Picasso, Monet, Van Vogh, and Warhol to name a few.

C’est immense et très bien organisé. Ça vaut vraiment le coup. Avec un pass on a économisé une longue file d’attente (il pleut). L’expo des sculptures de Picasso est géniale !

My first time reviewing a museum, and what can I ask for a more perfect first to review?!
This place is PHENOMENAL! It truly is modern!
I love how diverse this place is, and it is filled with so many amazing pieces, ranging from classics, to contemporary, to TRULY contemporary (including film series and pieces you wouldn’t dream of considering art). First of all, this place is HUGE and has stellar interior design! The main lobby, itself, is gorgeous.
I went in early September 2015 and managed to be there for the Yoko Ono special exhibit! I started on the first floor (there are six huge floors AND an outdoor garden in here, so make you have the time!), where rows of contemporary art and classic art blended. One room would be of pieces of colorful plastic while the other would be a series of infamous pieces by Andy Warhol (think the Campbell Soup Can guy). While exploring the rest of the next four floors, I discovered so many hidden gems in MOMA. They had Picasso and even the famous Starry Night by Van Gogh! Even the Met wasn’t able to snag this one!
The Yoko Ono exhibit was the best part, located entirely on the sixth floor. She is famous for THE most interesting modern pieces of art, such as Bag Piece (a corner where a naked individual is in a black sack as a form of communication), Experimental films (a 4-​minute close-​up film of an individual’s buttocks as the respective person walks), Cut Piece, Apple, and so much more! I especially love that a lot of her art is DIY, allowing guests to partake in many of the physical art pieces. This special exhibit was definitely a treat!
The Sculpture Garden outside is amazing and beautifully done! There are outdoor seating venues for people to lounge around in and relax, as they take in the dozens of unique sculptures around them. I especially love the grass hedges and water fountains! It’s a great place for families to take a breather and for the photographers to get a few good shots.
Before I left, I managed to see a glimpse of the new Picasso sculpture exhibition that was soon to come! It is open now (December 2015) for a few months, so make sure to check it out! A whole floor dedicated to Picasso!
This place is amazing, like I said, and it never fails to make guests bored. There is always something new going on, and exploring every corner of the museum will take a good half day. I am very interested in the film series that MOMA offers, something that many newcomers neglect. They screen specials below the main lobby, and the series they have are quite lovely! Just a month ago, they were screening all of Steven Spielberg’s hits for an entire month-​such as the entire Back to the Future series! Seeing classic movies on the big screen is not something you see every day, and I will make sure to take advantage on that soon! In the long run, MOMA will not disappoint crowds! A MUST for visitors in New York!

This is THE MoMA. It’s a large museum located in Midtown Manhattan that spans an entire city block. Although inconspicuous from the outside, the art pieces here are staggering. They must have hundreds of Picassos and Monets, and likely anything other famous painters and sculptors of the past. Probably the most famous is «Starry Night,» but there are many you will recognize. So in some ways, it’s not «Modern art» in the sense of it being contemporary. They certainly do have some of those in the galleries closer to the 1^st floor, but if you start from the very top, you will progress through time, which is nice!
When I came, they had the Picasso sculpture exhibit. I hadn’t even known he made that many sculptures. It was great.
The entrance fee for the museum can be kind of pricy, but museums need money to stay open. If you really can’t afford it, they have Friday evenings between 4pm-​8pm free. Still donate something. These evenings are most crowded.

Woooo hooooo my 400 Unilocal review *pat on the shoulder* yea buddy
I am so glad that someone’s event posting on Unilocal brought to my attention about MOMA’s Free Admission on Fridays from 4−8pm. I checked out MOMA after work today and it was a nice stroll up from my office. As you walked through the revolving doors, the staff are handing out Free Admission tickets and bag checkpoint before you can go to the garden and upstairs. First stop, I went outside to check out the sculptures in the garden. The gigantic rose is pretty awesome. The Endless Houses was pretty intriguing with all the architecture of building homes. I spent 1.5 hours from the first floor to the third floor only because my fear of heights interfered. Lastly, I waited on a long line to check out the Picasso Sculpture and it was pretty interesting.
Yes indeed super crowded but I zig zag out of people’s way! Definitely you should take advantage of it =)

Sehr zu empfehlen! Falls ihr jemanden kennt, der da né Jahreskarte hat, könnt ihr für 5 $ aks Gast mitbrein gehen;)

Si ce n’était que pour le musée et la pertinence de ses expositions je dirais 5 étoiles directes ! L’étoile manquante c’est pour l’amabilité du personnel et la consigne des sacs. Donc au MOMA, les sacs à dos sont interdits, donc vous le posez au vestiaire. Le problème? Il est interdits de laisser des objets de valeurs dans les sacs à dos. Résultats, je me suis retrouvé à faire la visite avec l’appareil photo, le porte feuille et la tablette dans les mains. Niveau confort, c’est mort.
Par contre, les oeuvres sont magnifiques! J’ai adoré la collection Warhol, Dali, Picasso Van Gogh.
Un conseil: pour éviter de faire la queue à l’entrée, achetez votre billet sur internet !

Pour moi, le meilleur musée dans lequel je suis allée.
Tout d’abord l’espace est tellement grand! Grandes salles d’expositions, grands jardins, grands parcs.
La hauteur de l’espace, plus de 5 étages avec une hauteur de plafond complètement folle!
Et ce dernier étage est mon préféré, Picasso, DALI, Van Gogh. Vous approchez de tellement près les oeuvres qu’on né voit que dans les livres que vous n’y croyez pas.
Il y a même un hélicoptère suspendu dans le vide!
En allant à NEW YORK vous vous devez d’aller au MOMA

El arte moderno y el arte contemporáneo me encantan así que este museo es amor.
Para los que hemos estudiado las vanguardias o el arte pop estar en el moma es ver la materialización de todas esas cosas que leímos. Realmente emocionante.
A mí me encanto y creo que realmente vale la pena, pero soy una gran defensora de la libertad viajera así que si no les copa este tipo de arte ni entren.
A mí fue de las cosas que más me gusto de NY.
El edificio es grande cómodo con múltiples escaleras mecánicas, ascensores y gift shops.
Las audio guías son gratis así que a tenerlo en cuenta.
Un día a la semana es gratuito así que si están cortos de presupuesto chequeenlo, aunque claro ese día suele estar llenísimo.
Hay dos restaurantes adentro. No fui a ninguno, pero ambos estaban llenos.

Imperdible para los que no estamos habituados a ver obras como las de Frida Calo, Miro, Pollock etc. Lo visitaría nuevamente en mi próxima visita a la cuidad.

Ein sehr sehenswertes Museum. Tipp: zum Free Friday gegen 15:15/15:30 in der Schlange für Free Tickets anstellen. Dann ist es zwar voll aber für nicht Kunststudenten für einen ersten Besuch echt ausreichend.

Sí, estar en el Museum of Modern Art es como un sueño, todo un paraíso para los amantes del arte. Es un lugar increíble, muy lindo, moderno arquitectónicamente y hogar de las más geniales creaciones de las artes plásticas que ha dejado la historia de la humanidad.
Posta que es un tremendo flash visitar el MoMA. En este genial museo podrán encontrar obras de varios de los más grandes artistas, pero no obras cualquiera, sino algunas de las más reconocidas de cada uno de ellos: Van Gogh, Picasso, Modigliani, Warhol, Klimt, Dalí y una lista interminable de magia. Es realmente hermosa y shockeante esa sensación de ver por primera vez obras míticas como Starry Night de Van Gogh o Las señoritas de Avignon de Picasso, son momentos irrepetibles, todo es un verdadero delirio.
Aparte de su monumental e incomparable muestra permanente, también hay que decir que las exhibiciones temporales del MoMA son únicas y geniales, desde dibujos del cineasta Tim Burton hasta una exposición con vestuarios y demás cosas de la carrera de Björk. Cada año este museo te sorprende con algo distinto y novedoso.
Por último, también hay que decir que este lugar tiene el shop más genial que le haya visto a un museo, es realmente grandioso, de esos en los que te queres comprar de todo y no podes creer que haya semejante variedad de productos, libros y merchandising geniales relacionado a las obras en exhibición. En fin, todo en el MoMA es un must por donde se lo mire.

Me gustan las micro esponsorizaciones de las exposiciones «This is brought to you by…» y las esponsorizaciones de salas, des este modo entiendo que el museo no pierde su esencia de entidad pública a la vez que aumenta sus posibilidades con la entrada de esponsorizaciones o donaciones privadas. El resumen es que sí, que me gustó el museo, la concepción de lo que tiene el museo y el porqué de su fama. Es más pequeño de lo que me imaginaba eso sí.
Me gustó mucho ver esa parte dedicada a la tecnología y el arte en objetos cuasi cotidianos, ver el iPod como pieza de museo –que yo ya sabía que estaba pero no sabía qué versión, la más antigua por cierto – . Me gustó ve de cerca las obras de Pollock y comprobar el alucinante relieve de sus pinceladas. Chagall, Turner, nuestros Picasso y Dalí, Van Gogh, Matisse… en fin que fui alucinando un buen rato mientras asumía por primera vez ¡y mira que estoy acostumbrado a ver pinturas! que la mayoría de estas obras revolucionarias tiene ya o superan los 100 años. Sí, muy viejuno maravilloso todo.
Bueno, pues eso, que sí, que es una visita para mi imprescindible y que cuanto antes llegues mejor.

Moma! Precisa dizer mais alguma coisa? Para os amantes de arte moderna, o MoMa é parada obrigatória em NY! Para estudante o custo do ingresso é USD 15,00 para adultos USD 25,00! No Moma vc vai encontrar grandes artistas como Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh, Warhol! Aproveite para almoçar por lá mesmo! Ótimo programa para fazer com os amigos e família!

Imperdible visita si se viaja a NYC para los amantes del arte o para quien quiera ver piezas que cambiaron la historia del arte, diseño, arquitectura, etc.
Recomiendo alquilar el ipod que trae audio guias ya que sin cuerto orden uno se puede perder en los distintos pisos.
El ipod que alquilan no es super claro tampoco, pero tiene opciones de guias, incluida una que es para recorrerlo en solo una hora dinde te hace un breve paseo por las principales obras.
Tuve la suerte de estar en NY mientras se llevaba a cabo la exposicion de Björk. Esa experiencia merece un capitulo aparte! Totalmente recomendable!!!
Los viernes despues de las 15hs es gratis, pero hay demasiada gente. Personalmente prefiero pagar la entrada y recorrerlo con tranquilidad.

Ein sehr sehenswertes Museum. Allerdings war es bei unseren Besuchen jeweils total überfüllt.
Des Weiteren muss ich sagen, dass die informationsanzeigen zu der gerade laufenden Bjork Ausstellung sehr schlecht sind und uns doppelten Eintritt und drei Anläufe beschert hat.
Für die Bjork Ausstellung braucht man ein Time Ticket. Dieses gibt es nur an einem Hilfsschalter in einer Ecke, all die anderen Kassen geben das Ticket nicht aus. An dem Hilfsschalter kann man aber auch den normalen Eintritt bezahlen bedeutet nur einmal anstellen. Die Time Tickets sind irgendwann am Nachmittag ausverkauft… Beim ersten Mal waren wir um kurz nach 3 da und haben –wegen dem extra Hilfsschalter — kein Time Ticket mehr erhalten.
Dann waren wir mal so gegen 1 Uhr im Museum, da waren schon alle Time Tickets weg. Heute waren wir dann vor 11 Uhr im Museum und es hat geklappt. Wir durften um 13 Uhr die Ausstellung betreten.
Zur Ausstellung selber… Das neue Videos, was man sehen kann, ist gut. Die anderen Musik Videos kennt man mehr oder weniger schon. In der eigentlichen Ausstellung wird man mit einer Audio Unterstützung durch die Raeume begleitet. Man sieht ein paar Fotos von Bjork, viele echte Blocks mit ihren Textentwuerfen und viele Kostueme. Was total aus unserer Sicht fehlte, ist etwas ueber die Person Bjork. Um die Audio Tour zu verstehen, muss man schon besser Englisch verstehen. Hier waere eine Uebersetzung in die wichtigen Weltsprachen wuenschenswert.
Da es nicht mehr kostet, als der normale Eintritt, kann man sich die Ausstellung anschauen.
Aber ich muss im Nachhinein sagen, diese Ausstellung ist kein muss, die anderen Raeume vom moma sind interessanter.

Que vous soyez amateur d’art moderne ou non, le Moma est à faire lors d’un séjour à NY (c’est gratuit le vendredi soir, on vous tend les billets sponsorisés par Uniqlo à l’entrée).
Il n’est pas très grand mais tout est très bien organisé. Très intéressant, les expositions sont un peu plus osé que dans l’Hexagone et c’est assez surprenant de voir que petits comme plus âgés, les new yorkais se donnent un plaisir à visiter le musée.
C’est ici que trouve une des pièces maitresse de Warhol !

Creo que la fama de este gran museo ya habla por si misma.
Si te gusta el arte moderno y contemporáneo es una visita obligada que no te va a decepcionar.
A mí me encantan las obras de muchos artistas, desde Van Gogh a Picasso y Andy Warhol, e igual que en otros de los grandes museos del mundo (o en Nueva York mismo), el MoMA te ofrece esa sensación especial cuando por fin estás delante de obras maestras que durante toda tu vida habías visto mil veces en libros y postales.
Las exposiciones están muy bien organizadas para que te puedas configurar una visita entera o a tu gusto según tus artistas o épocas favoritas.
Lo bueno que tiene el MoMA es que es grande, pero no tan enorme como p.ej. el Metropolitan donde casi siempre sales con la sensación de haberte dejado mil cosas.
La entrada cuesta 25 $ (niños hasta 16 años entran siempre gratis, además hay entrada gratis para todo el mundo los viernes de 16 a 20 h).
Para los que quieran ahorrar algo de dinero y especialmente tiempo que se pierde en las colas recomiendo algún New York Pass que incluya este museo.
No dejes de contemplar las vistas que ofrece el edificio a algunas calles de Manhattan y de visitar el jardín de esculturas que abre solamente muy pronto por las mañanas.

Autant vous le dire tout de suite, le MOMA est sans conteste mon musée préféré.
Généralement, je passé très rapidement le 3ème étage consacré à la photographie pour filer directement au 4ème étage ou m’attendent Warhol, Lichtenstein et Ruscha dans une superbe démonstration de pop-​art. Je termine enfin au 5ème étage avec Picasso, Van Gogh, Rousseau, Klimt, Chagall, Léger, Monet, Kahlo et Dali.
Cette fois-​ci, chance exceptionnelle, j’ai pu voir l’expo temporaire «The Cut-​Outs» de Henri Matisse avec toutes ses oeuvres à base de découpages. Attention à né pas s’y prendre à la dernière minute car les places sont prises d’assault et il y a beaucoup de déçus.
L’entrée n’est pas donnée à $ 25 (l’expo temporaire n’a pas de coût supplémentaire) mais elle en vaut largement la peine. Pensez à prendre votre smartphone pour bénéficier de l’audioguide. Sinon ils vous prêtent un iPod (pas mal pour économiser de la batterie)
Né vous rendez pas à NYC sans visiter le MOMA, vous vous en souviendrez toute votre vie.

Sin lugar a dudas, el mejor museo que he estado.
La primera vez que fui, estaba en proceso de remodelación y se podía visitar en Queens, en una antigua fábrica, lo cual le daba un toque muy neoyorquino.
En 2012 regresé a NY y desde luego no podía dejar de visitar el edificio remodelado por el arquitecto japonés Yoshio Taniguchi. He regresado este año, y para mí, es una visita obligada al museo.
El edificio es muy bonito, lleno de luz, techos altos. Cuenta con un patio interior muy acogedor; si tienes tiempo invita a perderte ahí un rato. Tiene una terraza que aunque no tiene unas vistas espectaculares, está bien para visitar.
Las salas no son para nada claustrofóbicas; bien iluminadas y climatizadas. Está muy bien señalizado para seguir un orden en la visita y además cuenta con audioguía que también te lleva por una visita ordenada.
Sobre la audioguía, es gratuita (ya conviene porque el precio de la entrada es muy elevado)
La colección es muy grande, lo cual puede ser muy cansado intentar ver todo el museo en un solo día. Si quieres disfrutarlo realmente, te recomiendo seleccionar las salas o colecciones que más te llamen la atención y si después aún tienes ganas, puedes prolongar la visita.

Bei unserem zweiten Besuch in New York mit den Kindern, sollten jetzt auch einige Museen besichtigt werden. Hier hat man in New York die Qual der Wahl, haben uns aber letztendlich aufgrund der für die Kinder interessanteren und moderneren Kunstwerke für das Moma entschieden.
Auf der Homepage kann man sich in deutsch einen Überblick über das Museum of Modern Art verschaffen. Sehr wohlwollend haben wir aufgenommen, dass Kinder bis 16 Jahre keinen Eintritt bezahlen. Der Eintritt für Erwachsene betrug 25, — $ pro Person. Der Einlass auf der 53^rd Street zwischen der Fifth und Sixth Avenue und das Bezahlen der Tickets ging rasch und problemlos.
Am Eingang kann man sich kostenlos mit Abspielgeräten für Audioführungen versorgen, die mit den wichtigsten Sprachen versehen sind und leicht bedienbar waren. Das Gebäude ist schon sehr modern gestaltet und ist für sich schon ein Kunstwerk. Tolle Aus– und Einblicke im Museum, auf den Skulpturenhof und in die Straßenschluchten von Manhattan.
Wir sind erstmal in die obere Etage gefahren und haben uns von oben nach unten durch eine wirklich atemberaubende Sammlung von Gemälden, Zeichnungen, Drucke, Designobjekten, Skulpturen, Photographien, Illustrationen, Filmen und Elektronischen Medien. Vor den sehr bekannten Kunstwerken bildeten sich oft große Menschentrauben.
Alle weltgekannten Künstler sind hier vertreten: Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Oskar Kokoschka, Gustav Klimt, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Pablo Picassos, Jackson Pollock, Roy Lichtenstein und Andy Warhol, um nur einige zu nennen.
Auch Joseph Beuys ist hier mit einigen Kunstwerken vertreten. Diese und einige andere sehr verrückten Kunstwerke fanden bei meinen Kindern sehr hohen Unterhaltungswert. Die im Garten ausgestellten Skuplturen wurden ebenfalls sehr schön präsentiert.
Insgesamt ein wirklich lohnender Museumsausflug, der jeden Dollar wert war.

Esperaba poco de este museo pero en cuanto entras al piso 5 la magia te envuelve con todas las obras de grandes y famosos pintores como Van Gogh, Dalí, Kahlo, Picasso entre otros.
Como en todas las grandes ciudades, museos de esta categoría son muy concurridos por lo que recomiendo llegar temprano para salir a buena hora y hacer algo mas de día en NY.
100% recomendable visitar el jardín de las esculturas donde podrán comer un snack y seguir disfrutando del arte, además que será un perfecto break con un ambiente de tranquilidad en medio del bullicio de la ciudad.

Me pareció un gran museo, está muy bien organizado y todo es ordenado, además su contenido es realmente bueno (si te gusta el arte moderno claro) Es importante llegar temprano para evitar las multitudes y disfrutar el museo al máximo.
Si tienes tiempo suficiente puedes recorrerlo todo en un día, si tu visita es breve enfócate en una sola colección o exposición temporal o te volverás loco. En lo personal recomiendo los pisos 4 y 5 que contienen obras de: Van Gogh, Kalho, Diego Rivera, Dalí, Picasso, Mathisse, Roy Liechtenstein, Warhol, entre muchos otros.
No dejes de visitar el jardín de las esculturas, realmente es un espacio de tranquilidad dentro de una de las ciudades más agitadas del mundo.

Je né suis pas un accro des musées mais dans mon court séjour à New York, je voulais faire le meilleur. J’ai donc demandé à des personnes qui les avaient tous fait de me conseiller et c’est le MOMA qui est revenu à chaque fois. J’aurais bien aimé faire le Musée d’Histoire naturelle également mais ce sera pour la prochaine fois. Quant au Guggenheim, il est plus intéressant de rentrer dedans uniquement pour son architecture.
Conseil de visite, commencez par le haut, c’est ici que les expositions sont les plus intéressantes avec du Van Gogh, du Matisse, du Picasso et d’autres grands maîtres. En descendant, on s’approche de plus en plus de notre époque en passant par Andy Wharol et autres artistes plus contemporains. Ce qui est sympa c’est qu’il y a des parties temporaires à chaque étage ou presque ce qui rend le musée relativement en mouvement pour ceux qui aiment y venir régulièrement.
J’ai été en revanche déstabilisé par la climatisation, c’est un peu bête je sais mais en été à New York, il fait très chaud et je me suis cru dans le compartiment freezer de mon frigo ici ! A tel point que j’ai accéléré la visite sur la fin tellement il faisait froid.
Autre conseil, je vous recommande de prendre des billets Rock Moma au Rockfeller center qui vous permettent de faire la visite du MOMA et du Top of The Rock en vous faisant gagner plus de 10 $ ainsi que l’attente au MOMA !

Bueno la verdad es que me esperaba algo más de este museo, no está mal, pero lo bonito que ver son las obras de Miró, Picasso, Frida Khalo, van gogh, Andy Warhol, entre otros. Si vas a verla, ves un viernes de 16 h a 20 h que es gratis siempre, si no tendrás que pagar la entrada que es un poco más de 23 $ ir antes de las 16h, ya que se forman increíbles colas esperando a entrar, la cola se forma fuera y te dan un ticket para que entres gratis, has de dejar la mochila en un guardarropía no te dejan entrar con ella y hay fuentes y baños por todos los lados.

Iba a empezar la reseña quejándome del incomprensible arte moderno, pero siendo el Museo de Arte Moderno podría venir algún listillo a decirme que yo me lo había buscado y a ver cómo le cierro la boca luego.
Lo más sorpresivo del MoMA es que yo pensé que creía que era inmenso, pero se queda solo en la categoría «grande», lo que lo convierte en un museo mucho más cómodo de visitar que el Metropolitan o el de Historia Natural, que requieren como mínimo un día entero cada uno (si no más). También es sorpresivo lo poco sensibles que son con los vertiginosos, porque la pasarela que separa las dos alas de cada planta, con esos paneles transparentes a los lados, solo presagian la muerte más certera para aquellos que no gozan de las alturas. Peo vaya, es una cuestión menor realmente.
En cuanto a los fondos, soy más amigo de los menos modernos que de los más actuales: obras afamadas de Picasso, Van Gogh, Kahlo o Warhol comparten edificio con otras que… Ehm… No sé cómo decirlo, yo es que soy un poco psicópata y no entiendo el arte no figurativo, así que me pones delante de Two Sticks, una «obra de arte» de hace décadas que consiste, como su nombre indica, en dos palos, y entonces piensas en por qué has pagado semejante entrada para esto. Para lo que te decía: los Picasso, los Van Gogh y los Warhol. Si encima sabes apreciar realmente el arte moderno te llevarás el premio gordo.
Por cierto que lo que más me gustó a mí fue la exposición de videoclips ochenteros, adyacente a un montón de videojuegos antiguos a los que se podía jugar simplemente haciendo cola, pero es que me pusieron dos pasiones juntas y así me ganaron.
En cuanto al edificio en sí, es asépticamente blanco y amigos de los ángulos rectos, como muchos museos actuales del estilo, pero tiene un patio muy agradable con estatuas, un minilago y mucho sitio para sentarse, amén de una cafetería y el acceso al restaurante del museo que, sorprendentemente, estaba bastante vacío cuando fui a pesar de ser hora estándar para comer allí. Sospecho que el precio formaba parte de esto, pero no podría asegurarlo.

Pas forcément prévu dans mon planning du moins comme une priorité c’est du fait de sa gratuité le vendredi entre 16h et 20h, correspondant à mon jour d’arrivée sur New York qui fait qu’au final c’est quasiment le premier lieu que j’ai découvert.
On pourrait croire finalement que ce serait blindé de visiteurs à cause de ce passé libre mais tout compte fait ça circule bien et aussitôt à l’intérieur, j’ai récupéré un ticket déjà tendu par le caissier avant que je sois vraiment à sa porté.
Après un court passage sur les premiers niveaux, je suis monté directement jusqu’en haut ou sont exposés quelques une des tableaux les plus connus dans le monde.
Les photos né sont que rarement autorisé alors c’est surtout un plaisir des yeux sur le moment. Les couloirs sont larges, pas trop de gèné pour naviguer entre chaque galerie.

Je né suis pas une très grande fan d’art moderne et pourtant, j ai beaucoup apprécié ce musée.
On y voit de très belles œuvres, et les salles sont bien organisées.
Malgré le monde, on peu quand même voir toutes les œuvres en prenant un peu de temps.
Des audio guides/​iPhones sont mis à disposition pour les explications, je trouve va très interactif! (Mais je né les ai pas essayé). Il y a aussi possibilité de télécharger directement l’application sur son smartphone.
Vous pourrez y voir de belles & célèbres œuvres de Picasso, de Monet, de Warhol, et j’en passé…
La boutique du musée est aussi très très chouette ! Pleins de petits souvenirs et objets sympas!
Bref, à voir à New York ! :)

Top Museum, sehr gute Strukturierung, die großen Maler sind hier ausgestellt.

Kunstbesuch, Teil 1. Wir sind/​waren erst ein paar Tage in New York. So haben wir noch vollen Élan und wollen uns das MoMA gönnen.
Pünktlich wie die Maurer sind wir vor Ort. Eingerahmt in den Wolkenkratzer-​Jungle von NYC liegt das MoMA fast schon unauffällig in der 53. Straße.
Wer Student ist und einen gültigen Ausweis bei hat, kann sich zudem über 11 $ Ermäßigung freuen.
Ausstellungstechnisch kann man über das MoMA nicht meckern. Auf sechs Etagen sind wohl die bekanntesten Werke der modernen und jüngeren Kunstgeschichte vorhanden. Wer sich einen Audioguide gegen Abgabe seines Passes oder Personalausweises holt, bekommt zu vielen Werken Zusatzinformationen.
Leider kann ich nicht sagen, welches dieser vielen tollen Werke tatsächlich das original ist und wo eine (Sicherheits-)Kopie hängt. Macht aber nichts, denn ich habe die Ausstellung vollends genossen. Da ich damals nicht in der neuen Nationalgalerie war, ist umso schöner, diese Gelegenheit jetzt nachzuholen.
Das gesparte Geld vom Eintritt wird auch umgehend im Shop investiert und man geht frohen Mutes davon. Gönnt euch hier auch kostenloses WLAN, um Bilder von den Werken gleich zu posten. Fotografieren ist hier ausdrücklich erlaubt.

Vraiment un très beau musée. Des chefs d’oeuvres mondialement connus… Magritte, Monet, Van Gogh, Warroll, Dali … et j’en passé… Incontournable! Par contre y aller un jours ou il fait froid et des le matin. Car il est vraiment très très très grand :)
Really a very beautiful museum. Leaders (heads) of works world-​famous… Magritte, Monet, Van Gogh, Warroll, Dali and more… Inescapable! On the other hand to go one there days or it is cold and in the morning. Because it is really immense!

très très très impressionnant comme la collection. Jamais vu un Monet en grande forma en France. Le shop en face est très marrant aussi.

Musée exceptionnel ! On y voit de très grandes oeuvres ! Aux amoureux d’arts contemporain: foncez, vous né serez pas déçus et peut être même surpris par les oeuvres

Je suis pas un grand fan d’art moderne mais bon sur les recommandations du guide touristique c’est quand même un musée à faire à New York.
Bâti sur 5 étages vous pourrez aller contempler les oeuvres en fonction de vos goûts: photographie, sculpture, peinture.
Guides audio à disposition et boutique de souvenirs au dernier étage.
A voir également le jardin avec quelques sculptures en plein air.

Ich bin weder Kunstliebhaber, noch verstehe ich etwas von Malerei. Das Moma war dennoch äusserst faszinierend. Ich kann jedem empfehlen ein paar Stunden seines New York Aufenthaltes dort zu verbringen.
Das Räumlichkeiten sind sehr offen und lassen den Besuchern viel Platz. Auch dort wo es viele Leute hat gibt es eigentlich nie ein Gedränge.
Neben den permanenten Ausstellungen mit den Kunstikonen der jüngeren Vergangenheit (Picasso, Monet, Chagall, Warhol etc.) gibt es auch Sonderausstellungen. So wurde während unseres Besuches eine grosse Sammlung von Arbeiten von Le Corbusier ausgestellt. Es wahr sehr faszinierend.

Pour être franc, je suis ressorti déçu de ce fameux musée new-​yorkais. Pour des personnes qui né s’intéressent pas particulièrement à l’art moderne, les premiers étages seront difficiles à attirer votre intérêt. Il reste toujours le dernier étage qui regroupe certaines des toiles les plus connus sur terre et c’est vraiment sympathique de voir en vrai ces peintures.

Si te gusta el arte Moma es el sitio

Si eres amante del Arte Moderno entonces no podras dejar de visitar el MoMa, dejate sorprender y disfruta de la Exposiciones ;-)

Il parait que toute visite à NY doit passer par le MOMA. il parait.
La vérité est que vous pouvez vraiment vous en passer si vous n’êtes pas un adapte de l’art Moderne. Certes il est agréable de déchiffrer quelques peintures avec l’audio guide et de comprendre un peu le cubisme. mais franchement, qui peut tomber en transe devant 30 briques de pierre posées en pyramide ou devant un bout de bois avec des dimensions dessus (le meme qu’à la maison après les travaux).
on a fait les 5eme et 6eme étage à vitesse normale (expo photo, top !) et les 4 premiers en 15min.
après c’est l’éternel débat sur l’art moderne.

Rien à dire mis à part que ce musée est absolument fabuleux ! Cet été je suis tombé sur une expo sur la peinture allemande, sur un gugus belge qui fait des videos étranges, et j’ai évidemment parcouru les galeries permanentes ! FANTASTIQUE !

Je trouve ce Musee impressionnant. Et comme beaucoup de musées a NYC une bonne raison de se dire on reviendra. Comme beaucoup de musées d’art modernes, ce qui est exposé est assez violent au niveau du ressenti. Alors si vous voulez tout faire attention: c’est exténuant (physiquement soit, mais surtout emotionellement)

un bon moment pour passer d’un monde a un autre
le MoMa offre un voyage de décennies en décennies
20 $ est-​ce bien cher? je dirais oui et non
Oui dans le sens ou quand on est touriste on dépense énormément dans beaucoup de visites en peu de jours
et non dans le sens ou l’on en prend plein les yeux
c’est en tous les cas incontournable

Petite astuce avant de parler du MOMA, pour y entrer gratuitement: au lieu d’aller depenser vos sous au MOMA store en face du musee, faites un saut a celui qui se trouve a SOHO (sur Spring st), il est tout aussi sympa. C’est la boutique parfaite pour les cadeaux, donc pour 50 $ depense, vous avez votre place offerte!
Le MOMA est un musee tres bien structure, a l’architecture moderne voir surprenante. Picasso y est tres represente, ce qui n’est pas pour me deplaire, sans parler de Matisse, Van Gogh and so on, and so on…

Absolument exceptionnel.
Si vous né savez pas ce que c’est que d’avoir les poils de tout le corps se dresser devant des peintures ou sculptures Allez au MOMA C’est un des rares endroits où j’ai été aussi subjugué. on y croise des picasso, des matisses, des van gogh, des kandinsky, des sculptures de Giacomettije vous assure c’est à la limite de verser une larme. foncez

Si eres un amante del arte moderno, has llegado a tu templo. Este museo esta provisto de 6 plantas, en las cuales podras observar colecciones permanentes asi como temporales. La coleccion mas numerosa, fue donada de la familia Rockefeller.
Lo dicho, si eres amante de este tipo de arte, no dudes en visitarlo.
Si no recuerdo mal el precio de la entrada es de 20 $, aunque el viernes por la terde la entrada es gratuita.
