About The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)

MoMA holds the canon of modern art under one Midtown roof: Van Gogh's The Starry Night, Dalí's The Persistence of Memory, Monet's Water Lilies, plus Warhol, Picasso, and Frida Kahlo. Six floors of galleries mix painting, design, film, and photography, and the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden offers a calm outdoor pause mid-visit. Adult admission runs $30, kids 16 and under enter free, and the design store alone is worth browsing.
