Whitney Museum of American Art

Visit this museum. I feel like I say this about every museum...but they all offer something interesting and cool. The curators have taken time to include many inspiring and thought-provoking experiences and exhibits here. Even if you've been in the past, check out their schedule, you may find something amazing. There are also free nights. Cage and decks/outdoor terrace on the upper level.

visited on a public day, and it was free!! they’ve got cool modern american art and the views are spectacular. had a blast. there’s even a bar on the top floor where you can sip drinks while taking in the city views. just a heads-up, even on public days you need tickets, so don’t forget to book online. oh also had a free music event!

I love this museum! They have a little bit of everything for everyone from paintings & sculptures. The architecture & the views from the balconies in the different leves are incredible. It’s worth a visit! You can get free tickets for Fridays 5pm-10pm & second Sunday of every month. The gift shop it’s small but they have unique cool stuff. I’ll recommend get tickets in advance they sold out really fast. Can’t wait to come back to see Roy Lichtenstein Retrospective!

We went on their free nights on Friday and it was a bit crowded but a nice museum. Some of the exhibits are quite moving but it was a bit hard to get time to view them peacefully with the large amount of people there. The cafe on the roof was super cute and had a decent amount of space both indoors and outdoors to sit and enjoy the view. We watched a bit of the sunset and then walked around the rest of the exhibits. I was pleasantly surprised to find some classically influenced modern art in this museum too! The sculptures were very fascinating and loved the large than life size of some of them. One floor was under construction due to an exhibit moving in so we didn't get to see everything this time, but guess we'll def have to go back to visit again!

We were lucky to visit for free as part of Second Sundays. Lots of staff around and easy to get in. You have to wait for an elevator to get into the museum, so you might as well start on the 8th floor. We are not huge modern art fans, which is the bulk of the collection here, but we did enjoy the great collection of Hopper paintings and the Wyeth. Otherwise, our favorite things were the great outdoor viewing areas on 7 and 8. On the 8th floor, the cafe even had free glasses of cold water. 6th floor was closed and a few floors had next to nothing. We probably spent 90 minutes here and were very thankful for the free program and glad the museum is there to preserve modern art.
