AMAZING ART!
I LOVED it. The first few floors were kind of boring, but the (temporary) photography exhibit fascinated me. I was speechless when we got to the upper floors and saw all of the Picaso, Van Gough, Dali, Warhol, Pollock, etc. Worth every penny.

A MUST See
If you go on Friday its free because of Target. It can get a little crowded but you can still see everything. Regular price is about $20.00.

Come here only if you are an art buff
Not being an art buff, the exhibits in this museum did not interest me. So, come here only if you're into artistic paintings and objects.

teenage daughter enjoyed it
Spent half the day here, could have spent the whole day here. I was surprised that my 16 year old daughter, who was bored at the guggenheim, really enjoyed this place. The Munsch exhibit was good and I was surprised at the quality of paintings here. I would reccommend it.

Simply Brilliant
When I went to MOMA I was somewhat excited to see the museum, I'm not really into arts so I thought it would be fun but nothing amazing. I was wrong..just after spending a few minutes in there the inner artist in me began to truly appreciate that place.. it has amazing art by some of the best artists of all time. It is a bit surreal to stand inches away from an orignal Picasso painting, you can just get lost at the MOMA for hours and truly enjoy your time there. I would highly recommend MOMA to anyone planning on visiting NYC even if you don't know much about art.

An Experience Unlimited
Visiting Mueums and writing about them is my passion. I visited MOMA in October 2001. I find the place easily accessable that is one pre-requisite for any museum to become the soul of the city. Undoubtedly the modernity lies in the naming of the MOMA itself. So you enter the museum with a mind to experience what has not been experienced by you in the past. As I stepped in the veins in my blood got warmed up. I was truly excited to encounter the modernity. I looked around with thousand hearts and million eyes. At that time Giacometti' retrospective was also on view.A part of display of MOMA collection was removed to facilitate the amazing retrospective. Though the loss was mine but then Giacommetti truly desrve this honour. Nevertheless I could see some of the finest masterpieces by Matisse,Cezanne, Gaugin, VanGogh Picasso, Kandinsky, Leger, Pollock, De kooning, Rauschenberg, Rousseau and so forth . So many visionaries' vision of art displayed together. I felt truly enriched. An experience unlimited indeed. It also reinforced the artist in me. Though Ajanta and Ellora in my country superbly manifest the divine powers and supreme genius of the Indian artist but this creative world was quite different. Different in terms of place and time that determines the creation in the mind of the artist.Every work on display there speaks about the truth realised by its creators. An artist who is true to himself does not look for people around to respond to his work. Their artistic expressions evoke a spontaneous response That is the strength of the artist and the statement he has made through his respective medium.

phenomenal museum
the art in this building is astounding. so many important works are held at MoMA, i couldn't even begin to do the museum's collection justice by listing them here. some certainly provoke a reaction, but that's what are can and at times, should do. definitely worth a visit.

Neat and Spacious MOMA
My experience at the Museum of Modern Art was terrific; the Architecture of the Museum facility is fantastic, the cleanliness and orderliness of the art works and master piece really amazed me. There is one thing that made me think that this museum is significant to the others and that is the neatness of this museum. This museum must have been carefully been designed and arranged by well trained professionals because of the fact that lots of people visit the museum every night and day, it does not show it because it’s well designed and well catered for. Museum of Modern Art exposed me to some new stuff in New York City which I really admire and thinking of a revisit to NYC. First, I saw and stepped my foot in Time Square for the first time, and I experienced the Museums store; one of its kind I ever visited. I never visited a museum with its own design store. MOMA is fantastic; it’s an avenue to meet new people, and a place to experience great collections of mater pieces from great countries, and great artists. If I were to rate the Museum of Modern Art based on my visit, I will rate it on a scale of 10/10 because it’s worth its visit. Surely, am revisiting MOMA…

Spend a Day Here
The museum is now back in its renovated location at 53rd St. and while the admission is high ($20) that also includes any films or special events on the day the ticket is purchased. We came to see the special exhibit on Cezanne and Pisarro (comtempories who often painted the same scenes) and it was fabulous beyond words. We also loved the painting galleries. We even stayed for lunch at the cafe on the 5th floor (much less crowded that the 2nd floor). Although the menu was limited and the prices looked high we had a memorable lunch (cold sesame noodle salad and seared Ahi Tuna). The best bet here is to come on a weekday and stay for a film. We were there on a Saturday morning and found it crowded, but still highly enjoyable.
