Went to MoMA expecting to see the much ballyhooed "rain room", only to find out after forking over $25 each that the wait would be 4-5 hours. There are other interesting things to see at MoMA, but there are some real head-scratchers - like the large room that had a huge (maybe 10'x30') 1" thick piece of rolled steel on... More

The moment you enter MOMA you get a positive feel. The spaces between and the layout of the floors are inviting you to explore and you will not be disappointed. Audio guide which is free is helpful, and the map useful to ensure you do not miss any rooms and exhibits. Best part was being able to take photos (without... More

Using our New York pass, we visited MOMA late one afternoon...about an hour before closing. It was just enough time to rush around and see some amazing artwork by some of the world's most renowned artists. Ideally you'd allow more time to fully appreciate what they have on display.

I loved this museum so much, I became a member on the spot. Entering MOMA, I was as taken with the architecture as I was the Guggenheim, and that should say a lot. The special exhibitions are creative and there is something for everyone, every age and proclivity. I y enjoyed the photographic exhibits, particularly the War Between the States,... More

Too bad MoMA is located in a not so nice district of NYC, though you forget about all that as soon as you're inside the museum. A must see!

I really enjoyed my visit to MoMA. I don't believe one has to love modern art to appreciate this museum. The secret is to be sure and get the audio tour (included in your admission fee) and head up to floors 4 & 5. Then stop and enjoy the pieces that are outlined in your audio program. I will definitely... More

Being a member, albeit from out of town, was helpful in that I hardly waited to enter. I headed straight for the 5th floor where the Picassos, Legers, Derains, Klimts, Miros, etc. are located. I had an hour and a half until I had to leave, and it was not enough to enjoy the numerous, fabulous paintings and sculptures.

If you visit a museum, you expect real art. The MOMA has it, Monet, Renoir etc...,but it also has spent losts of money for those white dots on white background that a grade one kid could paint as well, not to talk about red on red, beige on beige, grey on grey. A pitty!!

My beautiful daughter took me to NYC for Mother's Day. Living halfway between NYC & Philly, we are fortunate to have easy access to some of the best museum's in the world. This was our first time at MOMA and we sincerely enjoyed it. They have Van Gogh's The Starry Night on display. This is one of my daughter's favorite... More

Like many museums, MoMa can be pricey, but it's free on Fridays from 4-8 and it's definitely worth the visit! It houses my favorite Picasso piece (Las Tres Musicas) and I never leave without seeing the pop art! If you don't like modern art, you may not enjoy it as much. One of my friends said that she likes paintings... More
