Very recommended museum. The building is impressive for its shape (and view from the balconies at the 7th floor). Staff is super friendly and helpful.The exhibitions are very different from other places. There are in-depth expositions of two American, non-mainstream artists that fit very well with the current wave of diverse and inclusive art. It really supplements the museum offer in NYC. Something that will make you think. (Also nice: no entrance fee :) )

The art work was great but a trigger warning would have been appreciated. Staff gave us a bit of a hard time. We walked in scanned our tickets. Gave me a hard time about not having my student ID. We saw some friends outside and when we told her we would step out to talk to them she said if we left we would not be allowed back in. Instead they came in to speak with us. Sometimes with these rules people have they really need a better understanding of why the rules are in place. Smh.Then scolded for taking the wrong stairs because we missed a sign on the door.Building was very clean and clear. I liked how the work was presented. Much to look at. Rooftop great for pictures. Would totally host an event on the top floor when things become safe for closer social interactions.

Loved it. Very interesting exhibition of several non-mainstream artists with very unique styles. The staff is very friendly and willing to assist you at all times.Also, the building is very nice, there is a balcony at the top with a nice view of the nearby area. Great experience!

Very nice and beautiful execution. This is my first time here. I will recommend other people to come here

Get there at 1230 and go on the free tour. It was well worth it. Very much enjoyed the exhibition - Nari Ward.

Super contemporary, art collection that stirs your mind. Marked for covid-19 walk keeping it a safe visit.

So excited to see the Jordan Casteel Exhibit today! Soooooo good!

Went there earlier today, it was a very interesting visit. The whole building (which itself looks stunning from the outside) was basically a giant Hans Haacke exposition, and worth every penny. Speaking of which, while the entrance fee isnt particularly cheap (this is NYC, after all), its less expensive than most NYC museums), with the caveat that, even though the building itself isnt small, the space dedicated to the art pieces felt smaller than other NYC modern art museums.Try to come on a Saturday or Sunday, otherwise you wont be able to visit the observation deck on the 7th floor.

Loved it! Appreciated the deeply focused exhibits, cafe and store. Didnt coat check but the galleries were quite toasty so I recommend handing over your coats. Start at the top to take in scenic views of the surrounding city and work your way down from there.

Great place to check out contemporary art, buy books, walk around Soho to shop, eat, Nolita, Noho, Tribeca!

World class museum. Incredible building and really edgy material. Fine art can be inaccessible, this was something else. Very elusive and abstract pieces of art. Only Reykjavik Art Museum compares. Architecture and art.

Fantastic modern art. The exhibits were conceptual and many spoke to various social issues. The seventh floor outdoor space was fabulous as well. I really enjoyed the variety in terms of styles of art as well as various mediums. One of the highlights for me was the interactive walk through exhibit currently on the third floor. Be quick when going through it though - while it’s a cool place for selfies, each space is very small and you have to move through pretty quickly as it’s so popular. I say this because, unfortunately, the staff had to intervene and seemed annoyed at some of the hold ups caused by people stopping to take photos. The only downside to this museum in my opinion is the fact that it’s a bit disjointed in its layout - there is no clear way to move through the various spaces and it is easy to miss things. It is smaller than many other museums in Manhattan but that’s something I personally enjoyed. Overall, a cool experience.

It’s an anti-MET, anti-MoMA type of museum. I am glad this kind of anti-institution museum existed to give us a much needed alternative perspective and narrative of art in the 21st century!

Its one of the best contemporary art museums in the US so... You have to visit!

Interesting architecture, small exhibition space but with an intimate vibes with some visually enticing exhibits.

Very different from the classic and renowned museums in the city, this one looks way more open to experimentation and contemporary artistic. Really great the way they join the art conversation in the city with a fresh approach.

Great place and a great piece of architecture! They have very interesting exhibitions and wonderful rooftop view.

Excellent forward-looking contemporary art museum that offers daring, interesting shows that frequently engage with present-day issues head-on, and with this succeed in contextualizing very recent cultural history (i.e. the past three decades or so) in a way that larger, more slow-moving modern/contemporary art institutions in New York cannot. Because the New Museum is on the smaller side, it is able to be more nimble and take risks in its programming (and also doesn’t shy away from more challenging subject matter), which gives it a consistently satisfying edge you won’t find elsewhere.

Very small museum. Interesting to see but IMO not worth the high admissions price. Time needed: 30-90mins.

There were 5-6 exhibition in my visit of great american conteprorary artists. It takes about half an hour. Highly recomended, but check the schedule. Thursday 7-9 pm is pay-what-you-want day/slot

Great exhibits, space and location! Also, I crossed Yoko Ono there and she smiled at me. Thats worth more than 5 stars tbh.

Nice Museum.

Its a great museum that has very interesting and contemporary artwork. Their current exhibit of Nari Wards We The People is amazing.

Start on the top floor and soak in the amazing view. Very cool building with thought-provoking contemporary exhibits, one of the best museums shops and a bustling cafe open to the lobby. Dont miss the stairs to the lower level...its more than just restrooms!

Great art (we visited the Haacke exhibition), very well presented.

I love art. The new museum was very enjoyable. If you love art and have 25 bucks to spare drop by and enjoy yourself. It was very enlightening. Must visit in your the NYC area.

Sometimes worth the visit for insight into current contemporary art activity. Sometimes a waste of time.

Impactful show centered on US imigration policy, how it effects not only individuals seeking help but also their attorneys which permeates the culture. Juxtaposition of silk screens with harsh policies of US laws. Must be seen.

Pretty cool stuff. The intern who was asking questions about visitors at the entrance was super kind. Would visit again.

I love to come here regularly, sometimes its amazing, sometimes its not really my thing, but always interesting, sometimes edgy.

I didn’t love the way to circulate the museum, but gallery spaces were ok. My favorite exhibit was the one on the basement level.

5 stars, but definitely depends on the current exhibits. Building is very cool and well designed to house large works of modern art. Interesting gift shop and nice bathrooms.

Really great museum with contemporary controversial and political art. Huge respects art lovers should definitely visit and people should support this place. Sometimes they have free hours

I went to the New Museum and they make you carry your backpack in front of you everywhere even if its only paintings on the wall. As a result, my back is injured from their stupid policy.

Among the hippest art museums in NYC. Come through!

The museum is a wonderful experience for visitors & locals. Dont miss the chance to see every artist interpretation

If you want to go to see something interesting then go ahead. If you want to go to see art then head on down to the MET.

Went on a Free Thursday though dont entirely know why they were open. 4 floors were closed (3 preparing a new exhibition and 1 only open on weekends), so there was really only 1.5 floors to see.Some aspects were innovative, after all I was initially recommended to check this out by folks leading Apples VR tour (who partnered with New Museum on creating that), but overall was a bit of a let down, likely driven by so much being closed.

Rather small and underwhelming considering the ticket price. The exhibition was nice though, and I liked the audio guide. The WiFi works too.

Really enjoyed the museum. Incredible building. Daring, thought provoking collections. I will visit as often as I can.

Great exhibit right now, Nari Ward. all floors dedicated to his installations.

The greatest modern museum

Very, very busy, but in spite of this a wonderful, well organised gallery with an interesting and eclectic mix of art. Will definitely visit again when Im next in town.

Amazing collection. and free coat check. nice

Great contemporary art gallery. Inspired, amused, and generally loved the installations and interactive pieces. Odd and interesting installations that werent ordinary or plain. Loved the gallery, staff was very kind, and lines were negotiable on a holiday weekend.

Pretty cool with the art display, the signs of direction were a little confusing but it was definitely a pleasant experience.

This place constantly changes exhibition featuring international artists that have really unconventional ways of expressing art of have unconventional messages in conventional forms of art (like paintings or sculptures). Its really surprising. Its also near Little Italy so you can grab a bite before or after. Tickets are around $20 and you dont need to buy them in advance.

Saw the hans haacke show. Absolutely loved the work and the space. The guards were super cool and i ended up having a really awesome conversation with one for a while. Definitely a place to see regularly especially considering how frequently they feature new shows.

Im a big art fan but the New Museum was well above my head. I can usually appreciate modern art, but this was something else. Definitely some interesting exhibits and something you can enjoy if you can understand it. Fortunately I got free tickets with my Chase Private Client Culture Card, but I probably would not have paid for tickets had I known what the art inside would be like.If you do go, make sure you visit the top floor for a nice view of the city skyline.

Its become a must-visit place for me. Theyre slightly leftfield. Lovely simple large spaces. Exciting back steps between 4 and 3. Id prefer $12 admission to the current $18... which keeps it more of a treat than a frequent repeat. PS I never had something in enjoyed much in the cafe but its usually busy so whaddooeyeknow?

This place did not for kids.terrible,sex.if you take your kid.Skip it . Science and metropolitan musien is best for your family.

I always enjoy my visit here. They currently have the Jordan Casteel exhibition and that was just phenomenal!

Youve been to the Met,MoMA,and Goog... Try The New Museum next. Im constantly finding, liking and learning Art that eventually makes its way to the other museums here. And even when I dont like a show I find I expand my understanding of art and artists here. We became members, you dont have to but you need to experience this museum.

Interesting exhibitions. Quite cool building itself. It’s also part of AAM.

It is small but good art

The New Museum is great. Its the kind of museum people who hate museums love. They have a lot of video art, as well as spaces where you can sit and chill. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful art. This place was awesome. I spend a great time.

This place in my visit had been strange exposition, but place view point brilliant. I love this place

Great experiences here. Thank you for making this art available to people!Minor note: in the future, when you sell out of a book, but still have multiple display copies lying around, swap those out for printed sheets of paper that display the cover and a note with info on the book. Sell those display copies to the people in the meanwhile.

The New Museum is 6 floors and a rooftop full of modern, contemporary & Avant garde art. The current exhibition is on Gender: as a tool and a weapon. It was interesting and unique.

I loved Thomas Bayrle

Love it !You should go

The New Museum of Contemporary Art, founded in 1977 by Marcia Tucker, is a museum in New York City at 235 Bowery, on Manhattans Lower East Side.

Wonderful museum.

Amazing museum, decent membership pricing, awesome exhibits and great staff. Happy to be a member.

Beautiful space! Went with my friend and the space was really interesting and the exhibits were so unique. They seem dedicated to sharing a political as well as political message. Here for it.

One of my favorite museums in New York City. So much variety in terms of the artistic proposals.

One of those buildings you have to see if you like Architecture.Haven’t had the opportunity to go inside so I don’t hace an opinion about current exhibitions.Maybe next time. Building looks great.

A must for contemporary art aficionados. And dont forget to stop by the last floor!

Engaging, unique exhibits. Excellent family programming the first Saturday of each month.

Modern art at its finest. Has all the greatest tributes to those on the cutting edge of art and culture. Bring your friends. I did and will come back again soon.

Lovely art and a great day to stroll around this wonderful city area.

Great architecture and interesting exhibitions. The top floor views are also nice!

Cool museum. Every Thursday night is free time to give what you want to pay.

Never going back. Had to argue with security about my purse because it looks too much like a backpack. They were going to have me empty it into a plastic bag so I could carry my valuables around. Then you have an empty purse in security but I can carry my stuff around with me just as long as its not in my leather purse that looks too much like a backpack. Yeah, makes perfect sense to me. Ive been there before and the exhibits are only ok. Then they wanted full price even though two floors were closed. At least the Guggenheim discounts admission on days when they are only partially open. Not worth the price of admission. Go to the Whitney instead.

Interesting museum. Thoughtful exhibits. Very contemporary. They have a partnership with the nearby international center for photography so you can go to both for a fee. Worth a visit if youre nearby or interested in a specific show. Lots of local galleries nearby.

Cool gallery with lights. Very different type of nyc experience.

Exhibitions are never that curated here. Never much on show given the ticket price. A great space that has yet to be used properly

Very nice but I expected something more. Furthermore, the rooftop opens only during the we and I did not see it

This museum has a great selection of a variety of artistic items. There are many events to enjoy and there is always a special exhibition. There is something for everyone to enjoy. It is one of the best places for family outings as well as to take kids along. Children love to have fun and learn.

If you come on Thursday after 6pm is pay whatever you want night.

Awesome design on the building it won’t be difficult to spot there is a sky room where you are able to see parts of Manhattan like the freedom tower any other sky scrapers and tons of great art work

I got a yearly membership which is convenient. Out of 10 exhibitions, I typically find 8 amazing so its a great museum to see contemporary art.

Its a very open minded museum, theres always some interesting art going on there, free entrance on Thursdays after 7pm

Really interesting space. The Nari Ward gallery was very nice, and quite different from what you expect from a traditional showcase. The view from the top floor is really spectacular, but unfortunately, it is only open to the public on weekends. The elevators are quite slow, but luckily there is east access to the stairs and those don’t have as much traffic. There’s a security guard positioned in the stairwell now, so don’t get a jump scare when you see someone standing around the turn of the steps.

Wonderful museum -one of the best in NYC, well curated exhibitions - 5 ️, BUT if museum is a cultural institution -New Museum unfortunately doesn’t care about people with temporary or permanent disability and their staff and managers do not want to assist or help, even when you ask them!

Even though I happened to be here when two of the five floors were closed because of future exhibitions and the place looked still under construction, I think this museum has good potentials. Still a lot to improve, but they’ll get there.

I only went there because I was interested in one exhibition. The place is good, good service, clean. I cant say much about it.

One of the best experiences Ive had at an art gallery ever. Absolutely reccomend, a must-see

Great contemporary art. Located on the Bowery great views from the roof top. A must stop if you are in the neighborhood

This museum is on the smaller end, with modern art from only a handful of artists and one featured artist. I personally didnt like the featured artist when I visited, so having one floor after another with the same ideas over and over again was tiring. You really have to be into this kind of art to enjoy yourself. Definitely not for children.

One of New Yorks treasures in a fabulous building by SANAA. Always interesting and thought-provoking exhibitions like the current Hans Haacke exhibit.

Its boring but full of surprises

Very nice experience...

Not bad

Very interesting. Not for the easily bored.

Great experience and great staff!!!

The exhibits here are relatively interesting and for an $18 adult ticket, the opportunity to see different works seems worth it. Given the vertical nature of the architecture, circulating around the museum exhibits was a bit more choppy than most museum experiences. Some might say the spaces are the right size while others might think the spaces are a bit small. I liked the sky lounge which is open on the weekends and gives you access to some nice views. I will say the some of the exhibits might not fit everyones taste but they were thought provoking nonetheless.

Great Exhibit Space with always interesting contemporary art.

A good place to hang out alone or with a couple of friends.
