But worth to go at least once or twice.
Terrific museum, with a somewhat mazelike layout that you can lose yourself in. Granted, it tends to get crowded with visitors of the "we have two hours to see everything!" variety and arrogant stroller pushers, but pick an exhibit and immerse yourself in it. Chances are, the annoying visitors will breeze in and out in the time it takes you to look at just a few works of art. The second floor cafe is a great place to grab a bite to eat, so you can easily spend an entire day here. I just wish that some of the staff would drop the attitude, especially the snippy middle-aged woman at the second floor information desk.
All CUNY students with an ID get in free! That was a great surprise when we headed to the ticket desk. Nothing is better than free 99.
This museum is not only beautifully designed, but also houses the most famous artists - Picasso, Van Gogh, Matisse to name a few. Definitely worth checking out. I recommend starting from the top floor and working your way down the escalators. They had a great Andy Warhol exhibit on the 6th floor.
The cafe has high end meals that are moderately priced. Delicious too. I will definitely come back.
In my honest opinion, the MoMA is about as posh a place for art snobbery as it gets. I'm a big fan of the arts, but I think that modern art is a mix between some really great, new stuff and some things that I think are only revered because they were created by supposed "great artists."
The bousousie art fanatic, I think loves a place like this, while most people sit and wonder what a stack of newspapers is doing on the ground. I'd say on average, every room had one piece that caught my fancy and stimulated me mentally. The rest was just white noise. I think that whether or not the artist had some deep spiritual reason for making a paper cone and putting it on the floor, the piece still needs to speak to the audience.
I found it ironic that a place like this displayed art from a specific well-known artist whose pieces they displayed were created with the intent of showing how once they were considered a "master artist" they could create anything and the bousousie art world would consider it a masterpiece when they themselves considered it a joke. LOL, oops. Someone never got past art history 101.
This place really surpassed my expectations. It's huuuuuuge.
Six floors of exhibits? Awesome.
I'm not a huge art fan - let alone modern art - but with six floors to explore, there's something for everyone here. It was interesting and well worth the visit.
My favorite part was probably the Picasso room. Very cool. Almost surreal to see these paintings up close.
It's my first visit to Moma.
But I hugely moved!!!!
I love this place!
The starry night is one of the best arts in the world, and I was so happy to see this great exhibition in Moma.
If there is free time, I'll go Moma again!!
Everyone who lives or visits NYC has to go to the MoMa. After living here for about 2.5 years I finally went here. Every Friday from 4-8pm it's FREE to get in... That wasn't a typo. It's FREE to get in as long as tickets are still available. It's sponsored by Target. This was one of the reasons I wanted to go on a Friday.
After stepping in I was in exploration mode. I love art, seeing things that I have only seen on tv and read in books just overwhelmed me. It was a good feeling. Since it was free there were a lot of people, but that didn't get me down.
From Andy Warhol to Van Gogh , they have it. What got me thinking was the works of Andy Warhol had a rope around them where you can't come any closer. On the other hand "Starry Night", by Vincent Van Gogh didn't have that and people can go as close as they want. That was interesting.
There is a lot to take in while you are there. It is relaxing and educational at the same time. I will be coming back here again and again...
Last night was my 1st time in a NYC museum and it surprise me how crowed. Guess on a friday night after a certain time, they give away FREE tickets to see the museum which normally cost $20. We were thrill so everyone parted ways to go look at what they wanted to focus on. I wanted to walk all the way to the 6th floor and go downward to see everything in a short period of time. I was speed walking but my favorite piece to look at is Starry night by Van Gogh. We took a pic of it standing in front of the painting but my friend accidently touch it where the security guard asked her to stand away lol Overall i would come back here but i am happy to at least experience 1 museum in NYC so far.
My boys (4 & 6) were challenged by it, I was bummed by that--my son is a good artist too. My eldest son wasn't impressed by Picasso. I don't know why they redesigned and remodeled it, but feels like the same place to me honestly, they didn't ruin it. This is a great place. I just wish it wasn't so crowded Friday night when it's pay what you want, and that they had other nights, so if you work late on Friday you could go.
One of my favorite paintings I saw here. It was The Indifference of Sisyphus. He was skipping up the paisley mountain, devil may care. I think of that painting every day. And then there's all that other awesome stuff. Cool place, hope my children can get into it later. I think I just have to keep going and going.
Pay what you want Friday nights are definitely a free-for-all (haha, literally. Get it? Because it's actually free for all. Oh, and because it's busy as shit). Let me just wipe these tears of mirth out of my eyes and then I'll get on with the review ...
I freaking love the MoMA. This was my second visit, the first of which was in July 2007 when Dan Perjovschi's political illustration appeared in the foyer. Later that year, the book publisher for whom I work published States of Mind: Dan and Lia Perjovschi, a catalog of the couple's work. How serendipitous!
In 2007, on vacation just days before I started my new job a well known university press, I was able to amble through the permanent collection, consisting of masterpieces from some of my favorite artists: Warhol, Kandinsky, Chagall, Picasso, Mondrian, Kahlo, Matisse, Miró, van Gogh, etc.
This visit, during a business trip to the annual meeting of the College Art Association, was much more rushed, since shortly after our 6:50 p.m. arrival, my friend and I, along with everyone else in the museum, were quickly ushered out, about ten minutes before closing. However, we had time to check out the kitchen appliances exhibit, which was especially cool with its heavy German and Austrian influences, because my friend and I have known each other since we went to high school together in Germany at the turn of the 21st century.
But what most pleased me where the photographs from Carolee Schneemann, whose book, edited by Kristine Stiles, Correspondence Course: An Epistolary History of Carolee Schneemann, we've just published, as well as several images by Adrian Piper, about whom we've just published two books: John Bowles' Adrian Piper: Race, Gender, and Embodiment, and Cherise Smith's Enacting Others: Politics of Identity in Eleanor Antin, Nikki S. Lee, Adrian Piper, and Anna Deavere Smith.
I also thoroughly enjoyed the images from Ai Weiwei, Becher & Becher, Helen Levitt, and Nan Goldin. I wish I'd made it to the Man Ray, Gay Block, Tina Barney, Mikhail Subotzky, and Richard Avedon this time around!
