PROS: Place is clean, priced well, the art is labeled clearly, guided tours for each artwork, cafe, courtyard with art, several gift shops, and they also have artwork from Dali, Warhol, and Picasso. At times they rent known art like, "The Scream," and, "Starry night." CONS: Most of the art in here are from, "no-name," artists while a lot of the art is basic. A blank canvas, splatter art, regular objects like a chair, shovel, and paper bags OVERALL: If you like modern art and you're not always focused on known artists or good art than yes, this museum has both quality art and poor quality art. If you're solely looking for good art then the metro museum would be a better fit for you read more

Good experience. Not as sprawling as some museums you can go to, but still world-class. Multiple floors of exhibits. It's modern art, so some showings are..........odd. But that's to be expected. Great coat check service...and a good gift shop with as-expected quirky gifts. read more

There's something for everyone here and I love to see the curated exhibits and rotating collections. This time the Ruth Asawa collection was so intriguing and it was really cool to see her work progress as the exhibit went on. The classic collection was nice to peruse through. The coat check was quick and easy to use. The bathrooms are on each floor and were clean. It does get pretty crowded, especially on a day like MLK holiday, but there are plenty of spots to sit and rest. They give military members up to 5 free tickets, which is very generous :) read more

So many floors, wings, artists, I was delirious. I was there with a group for three hours but I could've easily spent 6. I loved the gift shop. They have great books, puzzles and home goods! I would've loved to see more Warhol pieces but I'll take what I can get. I left feeling very stimulated read more

MoMA offers free admission to NY residents on Fridays - if you can sign up in advance. Growing up in NY, I've been to MoMA many times. I've even dined at their restaurant, The Modern. It's a great museum but it's not very inviting. For example, I tried to visit a few weeks ago. I went to the nearest entrance. It was freezing. The guard wouldn't let me in to avoid the cold, scowled, gave off bad vibes and then told me to walk to the other entrance while he allowed museum members in. That's a long walk in this cold weather! I know that's the way they do things but give me a break. The museum restricts certain items, such as large bags and backpacks. I posted a photo of the sign with the list of restricted items. read more

If you visit New York or even if you live here you definitely have to visit MoMA at least once. They have a constant rotation of art and events so getting a membership might be a good idea if you live nearby. I came here for the Frida and Diego The Last Dream exhibition since I'm a fan of her artwork. It was laid out beautifully although I would have liked it in a larger space since it was crowded. But overall I was happy about it read more

This museum has multiple floors of and tons of galleries to explore. There are people throughout the museum to provide information or help you with directions. Really impressive works of art and the tickets are not too bad. Booked ahead of time and didn't have any issues. There was also free bag and coat check which was helpful. Posted a picture of the dust. Every ledge was completely covered in dust! They need a cleaning crew! read more

MOMA is a great time, even for the non-artistic types like me. Plenty to see and experience, and while crowded, it's still a good time. There is staff present throughout the floors, and the museum has something to offer just about everyone. And they'll let you into the lobby a 1/2 hour early so you don't have to wait in the cold. Now, while I am still going with 5 stars, there are some things I didn't like. The museum doesn't really flow well. There were times I had to backtrack to get to the next section, as you end up going into dead ends rather than things flowing circularly or rectangularly. There are also stairs in some sections and escalators in others, and some take you into one area of a floor but not the other, so if you want to see an entire floor, you have to figure out which one takes you where. It was a little difficult and annoying as well. Also, and this is minor in the general scheme of things, but it is what it is. There are 2 cafes at the museum, and I was expecting them to be snack-bar type cafes. But they're not, they're full on, wait to be seated, formal dining cafes. I wasn't looking for a full-on dining experience, just a quick snack. So that was disappointing. Overall, though, this is a great time. Even for kids. read more

First time at the MoMA for a screening of the movie Lady in White, where the writer and director was also present. Good presentation in their theater room I'd love to go back and check out the rest of the museum. Only complaint was finding a restroom was a challenge (there isn't one on the theater floor- you have to go back up another floor or two to get to one). Other than that, it was a nice experience over all. read more

I am not a big Modern Art lover, but MoMA does have a lot more than abstract colorful artwork. It has some great masterpieces like Starry Night (Van Gogh), The Persistance of Memory (Dali), Campbell's Soup Cans (Warhol) and Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (Picasso) just to name a few. I enjoyed getting audio descriptions by getting on the APP and listening to some of the stories behind the pieces...that really makes a difference. Check that tool out next time you are at MoMA or any other museum. read more

A great museum all around. The 5th floor is where they keep a lot of the best classics like Picasso, Matisse, and Monet. You'll see the huge crowds around Starry Night and Monet's water lillies. The gift shop is also just as fun to look around in. read more

I loved this museum. I never thought that I would see so many Picasso's as well a renowned artist paintings. They have Van Gogh's, Renoir, Seurat, Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dali's. I mean I was delighted walking around the many rooms floors and invited artists displays. Getting a ticket it was very easy. They have a long line of automatic ticket machines which make it very easy and quick to get you in. We loved it! read more

One of the best museums in the country. You can spend the whole day here just wandering the floors and halls. I really appreciate the layout of the exhibits. Each room is numbered chronologically so you can go from one room to the next and you won't skip any of the exhibits. I would recommend going through the museum this way so that you get to see everything. read more

If you are heading to MoMA specifically for the Ruth Asawa retrospective, be prepared: it is absolutely breathtaking but incredibly crowded. This exhibit is a massive collection of her iconic hanging wire sculptures, and seeing them all together on the 6th floor is a spiritual experience. The shadows the sculptures cast on the walls are just as much a part of the art as the wire itself. The museum is huge and split into two sides (the newer Geffen wing to the west and the classic wing to the east). To avoid getting overwhelmed by the masses, start at the very top and work your way down. 1. Take the elevators straight to the 6th floor for Ruth Asawa first while your energy is high. 2. Then, walk down one flight at a time. The 5th floor has the "heavy hitters" (Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso), so that's where you'll hit the most traffic. 3. Continue down to the 4th and 2nd floors for the more contemporary and large-scale works, which tend to feel a bit more spacious. Starting from the top allows you to beat the "bottleneck" at the entrance and gives you a much more logical flow through art history. It's a lot of walking, so definitely plan for a break in the Sculpture Garden at the end! Whether you're an art history buff or just looking for a beautiful NYC afternoon, this exhibit is a must-see--just go in with a plan! My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves very much! Go for it!! read more

What happens when Uniqlo partners with MoMA? Free museum access for New York residents every Friday, starting at 5:30-8:30pm. The line moved quickly, and there was plenty of staff to scan QR codes, making entry very smooth. I was particularly excited to see the Jack Whitten Messenger exhibit on the 6th floor. I explored the museum from the top floor, working my way down. I took my time and thoroughly enjoyed each exhibit; it was breathtaking. There was plenty of space, so it wasn't crowded. I also appreciated that there's a restroom on each floor and that the lighting is good for photos of art pieces. Add the MoMa to your bucketlist! read more

Went for the Uniqlo Friday night event and because it is on my "living in NYC thing to do list ". It's definitely an Art with noise kind of experience so expect the crowds; musicians playing or belting a tune while onlookers talk, drink wine & beer. The galleries provide ample space to view the art, people-watch or just sit and take in the experience. I'll be back when the weather is favorable. read more

My first time here and it was great, super clean, and all the workers are willing to talk to you about the art. It was cool seeing all the famous artist paintings in real life and I'll definitely be going back. read more

I like this museum because it always has new exhibits. We went here in January 2026 to see the Wilfredo Lam exhibit. From the MOMA website, "Wifredo Lam's paintings expanded the horizons of modernism by creating a meaningful space for the beauty and depth of Black diasporic culture. Born in Cuba at the start of the 20th century, Lam forged his political convictions and commitment to modern painting in war-torn Europe in the 1930s." read more

A beautiful museum with each floor offering exhibits to explore. If you're and art fan, I'm sure you don't need this review to tell you to come, but if you aren't an art fan, give it a shot at MoMA.

I came here because I'm part of a team that is accompanying an artist who has a show. So I know that my experience is not the normal, everyday experience of everybody else. And for that reason, I've only really seen one exhibit over and over. I just wanna say that I've been fully impressed with working with MOMA and I think that they're really great! It has been wonderful meeting all the people who are working with the exhibit to witness their passion and representing the artist that they show. I do want to say that from my experiences they do have a wide variety of exhibits and I look forward to seeing even more of that tomorrow. This isn't my first time at mom, the last time I went was in 2018 and I was very impressed with them as well. I believe that they do a good idea of showing the old along with the new in contemporary. And I really appreciate that. I also appreciate that they have the stores, the one on second floor, which is where the starry night picture came from and where they had the outlets charge devices as well as the one downstairs. I think the store has a great selection of things for folks to buy and is very impressive. The other thing I really appreciate is that it's spacious and it's not cramped like some museum stores can be. This is a place. I know that I will definitely come back to again and again whenever I'm in Manhattan and have the time to do so I look forward to future visits. And if honored to work with them ever in the future, I would love to be able to do that! read more

MoMA is such a great place to view modern and interactive art. The museum is made up of different levels with rotating exhibits. Currently, there was a very large Georgia O'Keeffe exhibit including her sketches and lesser known paintings. That alone was a great exhibit. This museum could easily take a few days if you really wanted to explore each exhibit. There were lots of interactive exhibits and interesting items from the 1970's art scene. If you like Andy Warhol there are also some very well known works located at MoMA. Don't miss the museum store. It is definitely a very well curated store with all kinds of cool items. The museum is $25/adults while children 16 and under are free. read more

MoMA - Bookstores Near Me - New York, New York

MOMA is one of my favorite museum in NYC. It's so authentic with its exhibits. Here is my experience in 2023 on the two exhibits I'd visited: Exhibit 1: Turkish American Artist Refik Anadol collaborated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) at MOMA to create "Unsupervised." So Refik fed pretty much all the art work at MOMA into AI and gave it no boundaries/restrictions. The combination of Art, Digital tech and the music selection was captivating. Refik trained AI to dream and hallucinate going back in time about 200 years. Exhibit 2: That time I step into the world of a wooden boy named Pinocchio... After 1 hour waiting on line, I finally made my way into the crafting Pinocchio exhibit at MOMA. That was nothing, I'd waited 15 years for this moment. This exhibit displays pieces from the production art and the puppet-making process all around of Pinocchio and the rest of the cast. It also included very detailed pieces used at the sets from the movie, flipping unbelievable motion tests and lots of other mind blowing installations. You can see how much love, time and care Guillermo del Toro and his crew put into making this movie. At one point my eyes had enough touching of each and every pieces in this exhibit. Lol! I kinda just then physically touched maybe just one item. Guillermo, thank you for such artsy and realistic storytelling of Pinocchio. Much respect! For all the Pinocchio fans out there, if you can't make it to the exhibit then definitely watch this movie Pinocchio in Netflix. It's awesome that Netflix is supporting stop motion animation movies! read more
