Whitney Museum of American Art

We went on Friday during “pay what you wish” and I booked tickets in advance on Tuesday. We had around 2 hours to check all the floors which we did, but some places definitely need more time to actually look at the art. But I very enjoyed the museum, it has beautiful observation decks that you can see the city skyline.

Loved pay what you want Friday! It wasn’t too crowded & we had a great time. The sunset was beautiful to see from the many outdoor exhibits. The museum layout is very straightforward and easy to follow. We spent a little over an hour at the museum. Definitely buy your tickets in advance because they were sold out when we got there.

Friday night at the Whitney museum with family and friends was amazing! Awesome art and media exhibits. We started on the top floor and worked our way down... loved that they have both indoor and outdoor spaces with amazing views of the city. We walked along the High Line to get there. It was a great experience! Definitely buy tickets in advance.

I saw the building from the Highline and wasn't impressed with the way it looked from the outside. But once inside, I experienced it quite differently. The way the building is divided is at once playful and smart. You go from small rooms to large halls, from dark and broody to bright and cheerful, from private to public exhibition spaces and those magnificent balconies with great views of the city. Your visit is yours to plan as you like. It flows naturally. You never have to look for a sign that tells you where to go next. Most people choose to start at the top and work their way down. But you don't need to. All in all, a great museum experience.

Fantastic museum exhibiting American art. Much of it is of still living artists.
The place is beautiful! The food options are excellent. There’s a bar with a great view! And the museum shop is very interesting with many beautiful unique items.
