This is one of life’s necessities. MOMA New York is a shrine to the greatest artists of the 20th century. It is beautifully curated and there is enough space that you don’t get exhausted by the experience. There is a sense that each painting,perfectly lit and hung, needs enough space around it so that it’s vibration can breath and resonate around itself. These physical pauses, like sorbet, freshen the palate. Dali, Pollock, Bacon, Chagall, etc are all here but there are more riches to be experienced. New York would be a poorer place without it. So would you. Art Gallery as life enhanced and life illuminated.

MOMA is a world class museum. Currently has two excellent special exhibitions: Picasso In Fountainbleu and Ed Ruscha /Now Then. The Permanent Collection is now displayed a little eclectically - not necessarily grouping artists or periods coherently, but there are so many great works to enjoy. However, "Starry Night" now has cell photo crowds around it like the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, that you can't enjoy it any more.

Incredible to see so many famous artists all here in one place - simply dazzling. Monet, Van Gogh, etc etc. amazing! Highlights for me Ed Ruscha exhibition and also the development of photography over the 19th and 20th century.

Picasso exhibit on the 3rd floor, but other famous pieces are on the 4th and 5th floor as well. Mademoiselle is located in gallery 503. It was great to see Starry Nights, Lillies, Dancing and many famous pieces. My eyes tended to gravitate towards more clean simple and colorful art pieces.

Wonderful gallery - but a little difficult to find what I was looking for - there doesn’t seem to be much logic in the positioning of pieces. I never found Monet’s Waterlilies - luckily I’ve been to the Musée d’Orangerie recently to see them. Could have spent hours here, but teenager had other plans..

We went here on our last day in NYC, and unfortunately we didn't have enough time there. We would have loved to have stayed there the entire day just enjoying the amazing collection of art, the building itself, the out-of-this-world shop and the restaurants. We hope to return another time with a whole day to spend at this great museum. We did get to see the Ed Ruscha exhibition, and it was amazing!

We have visited the MOMA a few times, but it has been a while since our last visit. Be sure to allow enough time for all the museum has to offer but remember you are in NYC and this is a world class museum. You will not be alone there. If you don't like crowds, you are in the wrong place and wrong city. They have ever changing special exhibits as well as their collection. But be aware they no longer have paper museum guides so check out the web site or use the QR codes posted in the building. We saw Ed Ruscha and Picasso at Fontainebleau, where works were on loan from the Picasso Museum in Paris. Also, An My Le's Between Two Rivers was difficult and thought provoking. If you grew up with the war in Vietnam, you would want to see this exhibit. Even if not of that time the look at war and the ravages it leaves speaks to everyone. In addition to these special exhibits, they museum has a changing collection of work from world renowned artists. We ended our visit with a stroll through the sculpture garden and gift shop. Plenty of restrooms and two restaurants are on premises.

Facility: Six floors to view. The top floor has temporary exhibitions. The Fifth floor probably has the works most will recognize. The most popular work seemed to be Starry Night (based on a dedicated staff near the picture reminding people to step back after they stuck their fat heads near the painting for a selfie), but there are many, many other works you will recognize. Every turn was a delight to find more in each room. Everything is in chronological order as opposed to the Met that has stuff scattered everywhere. Too many to name drop and spoil for you but you will see artists such as Picasso, Van Gogh, Rousseau, Klimt, Chagall, Matisse, Monet, Dali, Warhol, Kahlo, Hopper and Pollock. Don’t neglect to look at the other works. Overall: A good visit. Even the crowds seemed more manageable and relaxed here and there was actually more staff visible then at the Met. Verdict: Met or MoMA? If there was time for only one and you like paintings, this is the preferred choice for a better visitor experience.

The MoMA is simply one of the best museums in the world. Amazing art from Warhol, Dali, Picasso, Kahlo, etc. The design is also very easy to navigate and allows you to view most exhibits without getting lost. The line to get in can get pretty long so arrive early.

Enjoyed it. This is something since I am not a major arts fan. I have been to a Van Gogh immersive event and was excited to see starry night. There was some other great works too. I appreciated the inclusion of active duty women in the armed forces. Worth the time to go and enjoy.
