Not really my type of art—I think I'm just not into modern art, but it's a cool building with colourful bathrooms. The view from the top floor is pretty nice too.
The New Museum"s exhibitions and programming has gotten so good over the last few years. Makes it worthwhile to be a member and see every new show. Currently there are 2 must-sees: Pepon Osorio (2nd fl) and Mire Lee (5th fl), and a wall piece by Wynnie Mynerva in the lobby.
The museum is relatively small and can be toured in 1 hour. The rooftop view is pretty good and the “My Beating Heart” exhibit was very interesting.
Went today. 12 July 23. Interesting exhibits. Spacious. Cool. Fear-inducing elevators that seem to never arrive and then won’t go. Take the stairs if you can.
To be honest, I love the museum very much, and for a very long time I was going to get specifically to this museum. The only inspiring place it's rooftop. Otherwise, all the exhibits and paintings that I saw made me deeply depressed, and I left after 10 minutes.I do not want to offend anyone and I think that creativity is wonderful. Ah, but I probably just didn't get it. The only thing that seemed to me that the people who created it and have some kind of mental disorder. I would not advise anyone to visit this place if you have a healthy mind.
Amazing contemporary museum. Looks like the artist was given freedom to make it an immersive experience for the visitors. It would take about 45 min to an hour to see the galleries. Do step out on the balcony of the 7th floor gallery for the NY view.
This was an amazing museum exhibit about womanhood, feminism and the overall journey of minorities.
The pieces weee incredibly creative and I was in awe the entire duration of my visit. The current exhibit features Kenyan artist Wangechi Mutu.
