A must-visit place,
New York Museum of Modern Art

The Museum of Modern Art in New York is the first art museum founded in 1929 by four founders. From the innovative European art of the 1880s to today, only the best works of contemporary visual culture from each era are presented, encompassing media such as traditional media, film, and industrial design.

The Museum of Modern Art is an art museum not to be missed in New York because its collections offer unique works of modern and contemporary art. You can also see works by Picasso and Van Gogh at the 6th floor art gallery of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. And in 2019, the space of about 1,000 pyeong was remodeled and changed even more.

Little tips for visiting MoMA

The Museum of Modern Art in New York is open daily from 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and until 7 PM on Saturdays. The Museum of Modern Art in New York says that morning is the busiest time. So, it is said that you can see the museum more leisurely if you visit in the afternoon. You can also get to the Museum of Modern Art more quickly if you enter through the main entrance of the Rockefeller Building on 53rd Street. The Museum of Modern Art is close to 6th Avenue.

Look down from the 5th floor.

To properly see the Museum of Modern Art in New York, I recommend starting from the 5th floor, which has the most major works. The 5th floor displays works from the 1880s to the 1940s, and works by Van Gogh and Monet can be seen on the 5th floor. In particular, Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' is on display in room 502 on the 5th floor. Let’s take a look at the exhibition works on the 5th floor in advance.

On the 4th floor, you can see works from the 1940s to 1970s, and on the 3rd floor, you can see experimental works that we commonly think of as modern art. You can see Jeff Koons' Pink Panther sculpture. On the second floor, you can see works from the 1970s to the present. In addition, various collections are on display that change every month and quarter. Be sure to start from the 5th floor first and then come down to see it!

Artists you can meet at MoMA

The reason we visit the Museum of Modern Art in New York is to see the works of various artists. The works of as many as 12,895 artists are on display in the museum. Among them, I would like to introduce some artists that are worth keeping an eye on! I definitely recommend seeing the works of Jeff Koons, Michel Majerus, Martin Kippenberger, Tom Wesselman, and Claes Oldenburg. In addition, you can also see works by Robert Delaunay and Florine Stettheimer.

If you come to MoMA, you must go to Cafe 2.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York has a variety of food options, from restaurants to cafes. Among them, you must visit Cafe 2. You can enjoy panini, pasta, and coffee, and many say it tastes better than expected. So, I recommend taking your time and having a cup of coffee.

If you find it difficult to see it on your own, how about a docent tour?

We recommend an intensive tour of MoMA, New York's leading art museum with a collection of over 200,000 pieces, that picks out the must-see works and tours them through carefully selected courses with a veteran official docent from MoMA.

Unlike existing ordinary docents, as they are official docents recognized by MoMA and belong to MoMA, they deliver professional knowledge through pleasant storytelling, allowing you to read the flow of art history while enjoying modern art that is difficult and difficult to view alone.
