"I VISITED THIS PLACE:...
... because as a world famous museum, this deserves to be on any list of visiting New York City, and I was determined to visit all that I could, even if only for the reason of writing, printing and publishing my review here on tripadvisor. And when I learned that there are Claude Monet paintings inside, that confirmed that I needed to visit.
Truth be told, I never was a great fan of modern and contemporary art, nor did I even understand it. But this one single extended hours-long visit changed all that- I loved it!! It was incredible and fantastic and mesmerizing and spellbinding. I felt as if I was gliding and floating through all the galleries. I couldn't resist taking so so many photos (please see them and indicate if you find them "helpful" 👍).
My favorites were (of course) the galleries of Claude Monet, followed by that of Starry Night and then the Chagall works an finally- the Campbells soup cans.
WAS IT WORTH THE COST?
Yes- especially with the senior deduction
WOULD "I VISIT THIS PLACE" AGAIN?
Yes
ADVICE
* This is certainly a worthwhile museum deserving of a visit
* Be sure to see all of your favorites

Triumph of art - Immense, well structured and organized. Getting lost between a dated work and another with interludes of modern art, makes it unique in the world. Mandatory stop.

Overwhelming but go. - Must see for all art lovers, artists, in fact most of us!
MoMA is overwhelming but a must see. We went on a Saturday in December so it was packed. Try and get there when it opens at 10:30 am. We stayed for 5 and half hours not ideal but we choose to go to a special exhibit thus had to stay longer than usual. (After about 4 hours museum fatigue normally sets in for me.) Of course we didn't see everything we wanted to but many. If there are certain works of art you "must" see find out in advance what gallery they are in. If you can break up your visit into two days.
The staff was gracious and helpful and the restaurant enjoyable.
The only negative aspect of our visit were people who thought their right to have their picture taken in front of a certain work of art overrode everyone else's right to actually view the work. Here is a news flash. All the famous works of art can readily be seen on the Internet. Not a lie some people saw the work from afar, ran up in front of it, had their picture taken then moved on. They didn't actually look at it at all...

MOMA cannot be missed while in NYC!! - Although we visited the day before Thanksgiving in NYC, the MOMA is a GLOBAL treasure and not to be missed. Exceeded all expectations. Do not say to yourself, I don’t like modern art. Plan your visit based on time and which art you most want to view and get tkts in advance. Viator is our go-to vendor around in and out of the US. Know in advance that viewing Starry Night, crowds are no different than viewing Mona Lisa in Louvre. Go late night before closing if you want to see with less crowds.

I love coming to the MoMA for special Member’s Nights - I got invited to a special Member’s Night for the opening of Artist Ruth Asawa exhibition and it is always nice to share these evenings with other art lovers.
Here works were very unique with wire sculptures all over and they had engaging musical performances during when people were walking around enjoying the art. The museum always has a sense of excitement on these nights when we as members can see the art before anyone else. This is why being a member of the museum is such a great thing.
The rest of the museum was closed that evening but I come quite often to go to the movies and wonder the halls.
I highly recommend stopping in to see the Ruth Asawa exhibition with its colorful and creative works.

Rude bag checker ruined the whole vibe - Rudest security person at the door checking bags; for absolutely no reason at all the guy checking bags was so nasty and rude - felt like it was just for the sport of it. Kinda ruined the whole vibe.
