We had an amazing visit to Museum of Modern Art with our family of four. One of the best parts was that the kids were free, which makes such a difference when you’re visiting major attractions in NYC. It made the whole experience feel accessible and easy. Seeing The Starry Night in person was a highlight. No photo really captures how powerful it feels standing in front of it. Our kids were excited to see a painting they actually recognized, and that made it even more fun. The museum is well organized, easy to navigate, and there’s a great mix of iconic pieces and contemporary works. We spent a few hours there and easily could have stayed longer. Definitely worth visiting, especially if you’re traveling as a family.

Has become one of my favorite museums. They have an unbelievable collection. I couldn’t believe all the famous works of art and incredible artists they had on display. Starry Night is worth the visit alone.

So crowded today at MoMA — not just the main lobby, but the café and every gallery as well. From the turnout alone, you could say their marketing and exhibition programming are very successful. Worth visiting, but come early or on a weekday if you prefer a quieter experience.

I absolutely love MoMA, I could easily spend the whole day here and still not feel like it’s enough. The collection is incredible, and every floor has something iconic. Some tip here, get there early and line up before they open, then go straight to Van Gogh’s The Starry Night first while it’s still less crowded. However, in general it didn’t feel too busy, which made the visit even more enjoyable. If you’re short on time, here’s my must-see list: • Yves Klein’s Blue Monochrome (Gallery 405) • Van Gogh’s The Starry Night & Olive Trees (Gallery 501) • Henri Matisse’s The Dance (Gallery 506) • Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans (Gallery 412) • Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (Gallery 502) • Picasso’s Girl Before a Mirror (Gallery 517) • Picasso’s Three Musicians (Gallery 513) • Klimt’s The Park & Hope II (Floor 5) • Dalí’s The Persistence of Memory (Gallery 517) • Frida Kahlo’s Fulang-Chang and I & Self-Portrait (Galleries 517 & 521) • Monet’s Water Lilies & Agapanthus (Gallery 515)

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 an amazing experience, myself and a friend went to this year's MoMa pride event, it was absolutely beautiful. Free entry, speakers, a dj, exhibits, and wrapping up the evening with the gay men's choir of new York. It was a lovely evening filled with joy, pride, and art. I would recommend this beautiful event and experience to anyone who wants to experience pride!

Museum of Modern Art was an absolutely amazing experience. The museum is super clean, very well organized, and the staff was incredibly helpful and kind. There is so much to see — you can easily spend hours there and still feel inspired. The only downside was the cafeteria situation. There is only food service on the second floor, and both cafeterias had very long lines. Since the museum is huge, it would be great to have vending machines with water and beverages on each floor. Overall, a wonderful experience and definitely worth visiting. I would happily come back again.

Amazing experience, very well organized, with online guide for everything that's must see and it was a breeze to go through it. We only got time for the 5th and 4th floor. But if you're into visual art I consider that to be the bare minimum for you to visit if like us you're in a rush. Originals of Stary Night with the hand strokes visible and self portrait of Van Gogh as well as other unique creations from likes of Dali, Picasso, Friday Kahlo and much more

There is so much to experience, that more than one/two visits are warranted. I was fortunate to take a 6-week art class there so my personal experience is a little different than what others may have. They do offer little portable stools so you can sit and really take in the grandeur and information of a particular artist. I'd really recommend taking the time to read the little signs and placards of any artist you may be interested in. It really helps you to grasp the artist concept for any particular piece. To me putting eyes on Claude Monet's Water Lillies was the highlight of my visit. Absolutely Epic!!!

I was there yesterday, December 19th, and I thought it was fantastic because I was able to see works by Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, Diego Rivera, and other famous artists. I was especially impressed by the sculptures of the Japanese artist Ruth Asawa, as she uses techniques that resemble swarms, which makes these sculptures very delicate, as if they could fly on their own, especially since some were suspended in the air. It's definitely a great museum to visit in New York.

This was my first time going to the MOMA and I fell in love! I took my kids with me and my daughter told me this time was better for her than the first time. The art is absolutely beautiful. I felt bad for one of the security guards during one of the exhibits because people kept touching the art and she looked very stressed. It was a bit crowded in certain rooms but I loved the experience. My son loved the colors.

I visited The Museum of Modern Art on 23 November and the experience turned out better than expected. The mix of classics and bold modern pieces keeps you engaged, from iconic paintings to sculptures that actually make you stop for a second. Some sections felt a little crowded, but moving around the place is still easy. My favorite part was seeing completely different styles share the same space and still feel connected. If you enjoy art and want a break from the usual tourist routine, this spot is definitely worth your time.

Had an amazing museum date at the MoMA! The museum has about six full floors to explore, each filled with diverse, thought-provoking, and unforgettable pieces. We took our time wandering through the galleries, and every level had something completely different to offer. One exhibit that truly surprised me was the stuffed-animal installation. I wasn’t expecting it at all, and it totally grabbed my attention. It was playful, intriguing, and oddly emotional—definitely one of the highlights of the day. Overall, it was the perfect mix of art, discovery, and great company. I’d highly recommend the MoMA for a date or even a solo trip if you want to get lost in creativity for a few hours.

Visiting the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York is an unforgettable experience. From the moment you enter, the museum feels alive — a dynamic space where art, history, and imagination intersect. The permanent collection is extraordinary, featuring iconic works by Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, Dalí, and Warhol. Walking through these galleries is like traveling through time, yet the ever-changing installations ensure each visit feels fresh and surprising. What sets MoMA apart is its commitment to both tradition and innovation. While the classic masterpieces captivate, the contemporary exhibitions push boundaries and invite reflection. Recent shows, from cutting-edge photography to thought-provoking design exhibitions, reveal new perspectives and voices, proving that MoMA isn’t just preserving history — it’s shaping the future of art. The museum itself is a masterpiece of design. Open, light-filled spaces make exploring the galleries a joy, while thoughtful architecture creates natural pauses for reflection. Beyond the art, MoMA offers guided tours, digital visitor guides, a charming café, and a design store with unique finds. For those seeking deeper engagement, the library and archives are invaluable resources. Ultimately, MoMA delivers a rich, immersive, and profoundly human experience. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply curious about the creative world, every corner of the museum inspires awe, curiosity, and connection. It’s a place where classic works and contemporary experiments coexist seamlessly, offering a journey that is at once timeless and thrillingly current. Five stars without hesitation.

I visited The Met on a Friday evening and had an outstanding experience. The Temple of Dendur looked especially stunning lit up at night — a perfect backdrop for exploring the museum after hours. The Arms and Armor collection was a major highlight, showcasing incredible craftsmanship and history. I also enjoyed the Greek and Asian galleries, each filled with striking pieces, and the European collection, which offered impressive depth and variety. I spent about three hours there and quickly realized it wasn’t enough. The Met’s scale and quality make it easy to lose track of time, and I’m already planning a return visit to see more. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates art, culture, or world-class museum experiences.

This venture was on my 'Bucket List'. It was great. I loved every minute of it. The art was wonderful and was all I thought it would be. If you go, make a point of thanking the staff in each gallery. I found they were all really nice and few of the visitors talked to them. The food on the balcony cafe was nice and great staff.... But like most of NY it was expensive.

Floor 5 is where you want to go. That’s where the legends live: Van Gogh’s Starry Night, Monet’s Water Lilies, Dali’s Persistence of Memory, Matisse, Pollock, Warhol, the list goes on. Seeing the real paint, the texture, the human effort behind each stroke is something no screen or print can capture. The traffic flow inside can feel a bit confusing compared to other museums, but honestly, if that’s my biggest critique, that’s a win. The attached restaurant is surprisingly good, clean, quick, and fairly priced, and the massive gift shop is worth its own visit. If you’re hunting for unique art-inspired gifts or design items, this is the place. This isn’t just a must-visit museum; it’s the museum for anyone who longs for the salons of old, who keeps art as their phone wallpaper, who dreams in baroque and modern hues alike. Go here. Now.

Visited the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and had an incredible experience! Even if you’re not a huge art person, this place is absolutely worth the visit. The collection is massive and beautifully curated — from famous classics like Van Gogh’s Starry Night to amazing pieces by Picasso, Warhol, Monet, and Dali. Every floor has something unique to offer, from paintings and sculptures to modern design and digital exhibits. The layout makes it easy to explore at your own pace, and the atmosphere is calm and inspiring. The staff are friendly and helpful if you need directions or recommendations. It’s also great that they have plenty of spots to sit and take it all in. Whether you’re an art lover, a tourist, or just looking for something memorable to do in the city, MoMA is a must-visit. Give yourself at least a couple of hours — it’s an experience that really sticks with you.

Excellent museum with notable pieces across decades. There is such a vast variety of works that I'd recommend visiting even if you aren't a huge modern art fan. I would definitely plan to spend at least 1.5 hours here but preferably more. In my opinion, the MoMA is best experienced when you have plenty of time to savor and appreciate its incredible collection. The museum is reasonably crowded during peak hours but not unbearably so. Certain famous pieces always draw large crowds.
