Gorgeous museum spent a few hours here while in the city for Thanksgiving and highly recommend it. Great selection of the masters and holiday themed exhibits. Can easily spend half a day or more exploring all of the halls. Highly recommend it.

Very interesting collection of contemporary art, although the place its rather small. Thankfully you can get in here with the same ticket used to her into the Met 5th Avenue, up until two days later.

I used to work at The Met before I lost by job three years ago, but I still LOVE this place. A small, perfect museum that makes great use of the brutalist architecture of its namesake. We try to come at least three-four times a year. One of NYC’s top restaurants is downstairs.

Small but interesting collection of contemporary art. You can enter with the same admission ticket of the Met museum and is valid for three days for $25. The café downstairs is excellent, very calm, reasonable prices and great service.

Not a must visit for those visiting from out of town. The collection is small and quite narrow in its appeal to broader audience. As others have said only stop by after youve checked out other major museums. There are only four floors of exhibit space total so make sure you check to see if anyone of them is closed. When I stopped by two floors were closed. Ouch. You do have a choice of deciding how much to pay for admission buy suggested price is 25.

Amazing museum. Very good collections of masterpieces sculptures. Must visit.

Don timas the chance to learn more about the building, wonderful architecture statement by marcel Breuer . Then exhibitions are as well curatedIs a must

We really loved going to The Met Breuer. We heard that that The Met is not plan just g to renew the lease on what was the old “ Whitney Museum” , before they moved to their new building. My advice is go to The Met Breuer before they close! It’s a really lovely museum.

Nice layout with helpful people. Easy to get around. Admission for us included the Met this time.

Great place to see contemporary art.

You get admission to all the Met venues. Only two floors open during my visit. Lively Friday nights.

Great exhibits! Feels new and well curated. The Cafe on the ground level is beautiful and a great stop to relax and grab a drink. Could spend all day here if I wanted!

Architecture was great. Always love to see FLW. Artist featured when we visited was not that exciting, but the format of progression of the art through time was interesting. Check out the floors in the main area for an interesting solution to concrete control joints and peak into the restaurant below.

This is the new Met museum. From the outside it is not very interesting, but once you step inside things change. The inside of this place is very cool and set up well. The coffee shop is very good here and a great place to sit and warm up before you tour the museum. I saw an amazing art exhibit here and a really cool photo exhibit. This is a must see museum when you are in New York!

Food and atmosphere were great, took one star away because although server was friendly and attentive it took twenty minutes to get a drink in bar area after we ordered. Then it took more time to order another. Recommendation have cocktail somewhere else before dinner then come and eat.

Very glad to put this location on my Mets list for visiting. I enjoyed a lot, very worth visiting.

SMALL BUT CUTE, STAYS open until nine which is a good thing! This museum is much simpler to navigate than the Brooklyn Museum. I saw the exhibit, art, and conspiracy. Interesting in the least.If conspiracy theories are your think this is for you The restaurant is upscale and you wont find wings or quick eats for the kids here, but its a good outing.

Great building - architect Marcel Breuer. Shows come and go, some good some great. The restaurant, Flora Bar, is great, especially evening happy hour.

Must see show! Hoping the Met can use this beautiful building to continue the excellent quality presentation of art that needs too be seen.

Its an art gallery with several floors of exhibits. Downstairs is a cafe serving wine, tea, and coffee in a relaxed bougie atmosphere. Upstairs are the exhibits, which seem to rotate in and out. I believe we walked through 3 or 4 floors of art in ~1 hour.

Excellent food in comfortable environment and a fine place to stroll after ones meal. The art is wonderful from triangle paintings to balloon like sculptures. It was an expensive but wonderful run for some great curators.

Cozy, inviting space. Love the Vija Celmins exhibit currently on the 3rd and 4th floors.

Love the design and layout of the museum. The current show of Vija Celmins is repetitive and boring. But that changes...

Its all dedicated to modern art. did not like it, found it uninteresting . theres a few erotic pieces i found hideous! maybe its my lack of taste in art or my none interest in the matter. found a good spot for a cool picture.

My Favorite Museum... the building is a dream to walk through. Never too crowded.

Amazing museum with a very low cost of entry. Lots of cool modern art pieces. Only 2 floors of exhibits open when I went and its a small collection compared to the MET but the admission here covers the price to enter the main MET museum as well.

Very quiet. Not crowded. Interesting pieces.

I remember going to this building back in the day when it housed the Whitney Museum of Modern Art. I must say, Met Breuer made a great choice of space to display the modern, innovative, and quirky artwork. The fact that its very well compartmentalized and relatively small, compared to the Metropolitan Museum, really allows you to enjoy and appreciate all the permanent and special exhibits in a more leisurely, much less touristy environment. If you are a local, or a frequent visitor to NYC, make sure to visit the museum every so often, as the special exhibits are changed often and are very well curated. Personally, I am not a fan and am rather sceptical of abstract art, for example, but some pieces of abstract art Met Breuer showcases dont leave me feeling impartial.

While the Met Breuer is, itself, a beautiful building with a nice (expensive) cafe, if you happen to pop in when no exhibits are really on display, only a single floor (Floor 2) is open, and it is rather small.Not worth the trip if its your first Met trip or there isnt an exhibition - Id recommend going to the main Met a little farther up Central Park unless youre just looking for a really expensive lunch.

This is the smaller museum tat is also connected with the Metropolitan museum of art. If you pay at one of them you can go in for free to the other one. (2 for 1 deal). Definitely an awesome place and its huge. Great exhibitions and a lot more story to it.

Went to Met Breuer for Art class which is part of my Humanities class and it was very refreshing to revisit the museums history based on art & conspiracy. Timepieces were excellent from 50s all the way to current times each piece made a statement whether you liked or not it made you think..why, how, where and when. Get a chance stop by local museum you will be pleasantly surprised.

The Met Breuer is small - a rowboat compared to Mother Met a few blocks away. When it has really good exhibitions, its small size and intimacy make it a great place to absorb the art on offer without the crowds that can make a visit to the Big Met challenging - and even exhausting. My advice is to check out the exhibits first and then, if one or more really tempt you, then go to the Breuer. Even if exhibits sound unusual, all the more reason to visit. Unusual can be mind-expanding. Different should be tempting too! Just be careful about the cafe on the lower level. Its oh so trendy and expensive.

Such a comfortable museum. Space is very open and exhibits are focused and not overwhelming. Not a bad place to introduce children to art. Coffee bar and restaurant have great atmosphere.

I studied this building when I was at university studying architecture. It’s a must see if you like Architecture.It’s “pay as you wish” and you can use same ticket to visit The Met at 5th Ave on the same day and skip the line. I highly recommend to come here first and then head to the other Met.

When I went, only the second floor had an exhibition. I learned an immense amount of information. Every artist was making a political statement.

Just make sure you look up what is exhibited before you decide to go. Otherwise you might scratch your head ;).Very nice cafe andvrestaurant downstairs. Even if you decide not to visit the gallery!

Contemporary art from the Met. There is coat check and bag storage here and admission is pay as you go and gets you into the met and cloisters on the same day.I would start on the top floor and work your way down by the stairs, there were 3 floors open when I went with some pretty interesting and varied pieces of art. One floor showed only videos which was quite different.It is much much smaller than the Met on 5th ave and you can easily see all the exhibits here in less than an afternoon.

Its a very modest museum with a small collection. Its nice that as native new Yorker, you can pay what you wish and visit all three met museums.

“Like life” is an amazing exhibit

Had a wonderful experience here attending a performance by talented musicians and saw the Oliver Beer Art. AMAZING.

The Met Breuer is all business, yet still a pleasure to browse. Consistent, balanced lighting and a tastefully industrial interior that adds to, rather than detracts from, works on display.

Love the simple layout to see art. Remember when it was the Whitney. A drink and a sandwich at the bar is way more affordable than sitting at a table.

Only go when there is an interesting exhibit as there isnt much if any permanent collection on display. At this time, the end of 2017, there is a Munch exhibit and an exhibit of photographs by an Indian photographer named Singh. Very good. Although nominally open to 5:30 on weeknights they force you out of the Galleries at 5:15.

Nice museum with some interesting pieces, quite small

Wonderful building and collection. Beautiful bar and restaurant.

Really amazing modern art. The gradients on most of these pieces are phenomenal

Nice exhibits but 2 floors closed over 5, so not much to see.

Wonderful space, great NYC location. Treat yourself to lunch at Carlyle Hotel (where presidents and rock stars often stayed) across the street.

Yep Yep Yep. A must. Classy cultural place. Part of Metropolitan Museum.

Very photogenic, great indoor and outdoor museum spaces.

Small but quite a gem, worth going in every aspect!

Had a good experience here, just the right amount of art to take your time with all of it, glad that I visited

Was pretty unimpressed. The building was brutal and the exhibits were pretty underwhelming. Didnt really see anything here that sticks in my mind. Skip it and go to the main met museum.

Must check out in NYC. Arguably one of the best museums. Its part of the MET museum on 5th Ave. You only have to pay for admission in one location.

Saw some really nice exhibits of important artists from Edvard Munch, Cy Twombly, Kerry James Marshall to Anselm Kiefer. The Breuer building itself used to house The Whitney Museum (building I believe is still on loan to the MET) and is a Brutalist masterpiece. Museum space is also small enough for visitor to see all exhibits in one day and not feel overwhelmed like one would at MoMA or MET.

An accessible, maneuverable museum with outstanding exhibits. The emotion-charged Kerry James Marshall and process-driven Vija Celmins retrospectives were unforgettable.

World-class Modern & contemporary art from The Met’s collection on view in the former Whitney Museum location. Marcel Breuer’s modern building is worth the trip for New Yorkers & tourists alike.

Love the architecture. Powerful inside and out. Great shows, well worth a visit.

Awesome museum of modern & contemporary art.. Well worth the visit!

A very nice place to visit.

Nice small museum. Check it out before it closes.

I really like this space. It’s not overwhelming like the MET but has very interesting showings and should be on the list to visit if you in NY.

It was such a wonderful experience to see Edvard Munch’s masterpieces. It is dark.

The Met Breur is a sad place, while the art is sometimes interesting overall poorly curated and boring.

Pay what you wish. Well executed important exhibitions. The lobby lights.

Naked eye captures the most stunning sculptures absolutely beautiful

This building used to be the home to Whitney museum of art until they moved to a larger new facility at the meat packing district. Met acquired this building to expand their modern and contemporary art exhibitions which has been a sorely needed move from the met to maintain relevance to New York’s significant art scene and history.The building actually feels much better now being a annex rather than the whole administration. It feels way less cluttered and more focused in its exhibitions curation. The basement cafe is very nice and quiet.

Great architecture and unique, angled windows! Included to visit this museum when you buy ticket to Met

Enjoyed seeing the staple art as well as featured art. Elevator goes to floors three floors of art. Nice complement after MET exhaustion ...

You either like Modern Art or you dont and if you arent a fan, its probably not worth the trip. I found the building itself mildly interesting, but the exhibits were sparse and generally unattractive. Id recommend going to the other Met locations first and only here is you have the extra time or a deep attachment to Modern Art.

Nice open space easy to navigate. New York residents pay what you wish with ID. Unusual exhibitions in the modern style. Bookstore and cafe. Elevators.

It always nice to visit.It’s hidden gem.

The size makes it possible to soak everything in without being exhausted. Its also a nice to take a dining or beverage break.

Very different from the MET. Its a small collection. Wont take you long to whizz through it in less than an hour. Allow lots more time at the MET.

Lots of amazing art this gem right by Central Park.

The building is one of a kind, I highly recommend the audio guide it explains the complete builiding with all of its curiosities. It has made me reconsider what I thought could be possible with concrete. The collection is kept alive. Even if contemporary art is not your deal, you will appreciate the curators effort to bring meaning to the art pieces showed.

The Vija Celmins Retrospective in the MET Breur thoughtfully accounts the Latvian natives sublime career of reproducing real images in charcoal, oil, and sculpture.Far less sublime are the too familiar prime exhibition spaces of the Breuer.When the building housed the Whitney Museum of Art, its galleries showed their age with care worn walls, dull floors, and forgettable lighting.Now, charged with the Mets important contemporary exhibitions, the Breuer looks like the METs underfunded step sibling.Ms. Celmins finely created art frequently depicting deserts, galaxies, or detailed black and grey open water, would have been ideal to inaugurate refurbished galleries.But the old Whitney haunts the Celmins show and everything to come until the rooms are redone from floor to ceiling.One good note about Breuer is Flora the new ground floor seafood bistro. Very good food, lively atmosphere, and crisp service fills the Fine Dining mission of the Breuer handsomely.If only the Art Exhibition mission scored as well.

It’s smaller than I expected and some floors are off-limits but the art on display was fascinating. Marisa Merz’s “poor art” (arte povera) was an interesting concept, using seemingly obscure materials (copper wire, for example) to create beautiful art pieces.Admission is pay-as-you-wish. After my visit here, I proceeded to the larger Met Museum a few blocks away. I got in for free after showing my admission sticker from the Met Breuer.

The Met Breuer is a museum of modern and contemporary art its adress is at 945 Madison Avenue and East 75th Street in the Upper East Side of New York City. It became part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met).The Met Breuer opened its doors in March 2016 in the building formerly occupied by the Whitney Museum of American Art, designed by Marcel Breuer and completed in 1966.Its works come from the Mets collection and are both monographic and thematic exhibitions.

It,s a wonderful museum with fantastic special events, some are “workshops” where participants can do hands on design work.

A perfect mesh of art and architecture!

Beautiful extension to the MET. There was 1 exhibit over 2 flooes when I went and it was lovely.

Rad, lovely cafe, and the admission tickets are valid for three days at all three locations.

Such a good place

The architecture of the Met Breuer is great, took a lot of photos. Enjoyed the exhibition of Oliver Beer on 5th floor, impressive sound from vibration of vessels. Recommend.

Visited here twice and I love the collection in Met Breuer. Went to see the Edward Munch exhibition which was great!!

A great addition to the Metropolitan Museum. Its nice to see an artist or theme in greater depth than the 5th avenue site can do. And only a short walk away.

First visit. Great space but of course it all depends on the exhibit.

Very cool building with some interesting exhibits.

Enjoyed spending a couple of hours here on a Sunday, walking through the 5 different floors displaying Modern art from various artists.

Great place, but not recommended for the one who is not that interested in art. And 3rd & 4th floor is temporarily closed for preparing new exhibition - maybe open at march

Great place! Love the art!

The best museum building in the city. Would come there even with no exhibition.

It was good, kind of small but it was also kind of the right size if that makes sense

One of my favorite museums in the city. Architecturally I find the building extremely fascinating. Exhibitions are non permanent, so it’s hard to talk about them. However, the themes and artists chosen are often amazing.

As far as I know, the Met Breuer was originally the Whitney Museum. I think this is better than the current Whitney Museum in lower Manhattan.

Must-see brutal architecture gem abandoned by The Whitney and, at least temporarily, saved by The Met with much more accessible shows. Excellent in-house eats too.

A small museum with interesting exhibits and doesnt get to crowded, which is nice.

The museum is small. Right now only 2 of the floors have exhibits open to public. And I have to say they are a little post modern to me

More contemporary museum of all the Mets! Nice, small and cool exhibits
