Top Museums in Manhattan, New york county, New york, United states

Museum of the City of New York

Address: 1220 5th Ave, New York, NY 10029, USA

Museum

“This is a great museum. I would highly recommend it. In particular, the activist of New York was an amazing exhibition that really stood out to me as something that was different and well structured. It was easy to go through each section and understand what the point of view was where it came from. What changed over time? The video as well on the ground floor was unbelievably. Interesting to see how New York has changed over time, where it started and that where it's going and overall a good museum where you can jump between the different sections and easily find your way”

Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art & Storytelling

Address: 898 St Nicholas Ave, New York, NY 10032, USA

Art gallery Museum

“A place where kids can have fun and make art but it is not really a museum for kids as whatever little art is there is fairly modern and not easy to interpret. Still the kids that came with us had a lot of fun because of all the activities and the things they could make. The staff of the museum help to make things as well Tickets for kids are free for below 8 and $4 for kids till 17. Adults it is $7. They also have books and other small artwork for sale. They also have storytelling sessions which you can find out about by just calling them. The staff were quite friendly.”

Hayden Planetarium

Address: 200 Central Park West, New York, NY 10024, USA

Museum

“This is the best place to go for Enjoyable Education, second only to the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. It is disappointing that the Management succumbed to irrational & unrealistic pressure from those that would ignore the significance of Historical masterpieces, and felt compelled to remove Teddy Roosevelt's Statue without considering the overall Membership attitude toward that situation. I was a BIG Contributing Member, but canceled it after they did that. Regardless of the Administration's shortcomings, the Museum and the helpful, pleasant and professional Boots-on-the-Ground Staff are wonderful! Check out the new Mignone Hall of Gems and Minerals!”

Storefront for Art and Architecture

Address: 97 Kenmare St, New York, NY 10012, USA

Art gallery Museum

“So happy to see this icon of post-modern art space still going strong after so many years. It’s a brilliant idea that its founder, Kyong Park, was able to make happen, along with architect Steven Holl. It really ought to become a NYC historic landmark, as it has contributed so much to the downtown post-modern and current cultural space in art and architecture. Do visit.”

American Museum of Natural History

Address: 200 Central Park West, New York, NY 10024, USA

Museum

“A museum continually adapting. The Natural History beautifully renovated the planetarium 20 years ago. It was cool to go as a kid but getting run down and the Rose Center was a flying-car level upgrade. The Gilder Center is this generation’s renovation. It’s an architecturally engaging space; invites watching and reading about exhibits. A real level up for drawing visitors into exhibits. The museum seems conscious of its history and maintains itself as an exhibition of how nature has been exhibited. Its famous dioramas are maintained very well. That they don’t feel out of place in a modern science museum is an achievement. The Natural History and (across the park) the Met are great to take kids and people in town. They’re great to wander through and have a moment; remember visits as a kid; finding something new. TIP: look up tickets online and visit on a weekday.”

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

Address: 1071 5th Ave, New York, NY 10128, USA

Museum

“I've heard about this museum's architectural beauty but never had a chance to visit here. I loved how it was display artworks inside of the building and they had fantastic European collections (even though it was much less than what I expected). 'Alex Katz-Gathering' exhibition was ongoing which I wasn't crazy about but it was still worth to visit. I highly recommend you to visit here when your legs are not so tired because seeing all the artworks they displayed, you better walk from the top floor to the lobby. Overall, I was happy to visit here to see the beauty of its building. What a beautiful museum!”

The Museum of Modern Art

Address: 11 W 53rd St, New York, NY 10019, USA

Art gallery Museum

“I have to give it 5 stars. I mean, the collection is insane. This is on my top 3 museums globally. However, it is a lot. You will get super tired and spend a lot of time if you like art. I would recommend starting from up to down and taking a break to grab something to eat on the cafe or the rooftop. I was short in time so I did not do that and I was mentally exhausted by the time I left. The store is good but lacks a bit of variety in the cheap souvenirs. I am old fashioned in museums and would rather have a printed map. Global students pay half price ($14). Student ID is required but they did not look mine particularly. It was busy in a Tuesday so I can only imagine the weekend. Still completely comfortable to walk through and no line at any moment.”

Museum of Sex

Address: 233 5th Ave, New York, NY 10016, USA

Museum Store

“This was an amazing, if not slightly bizarre experience. We came here after seeing it was included on the New York pass. The place has a great explanation of history. There’s also a bar, cinema and loads of games to play, which I absolutely wasn’t expecting at all. It also has a really cool vibe generally and the staff are informative. I’d recommend this place. However, just be aware that the New York pass doesn’t cover playing the games.”

New Museum

Address: 235 Bowery, New York, NY 10002, USA

Museum

“New Museum is awesome! It has great exhibitions and very greatly done design shop with local design, great books and more. The only thing I wanted to see and it was closed was the sky room with the view, they told us it will be open the following day, but it was not.”

Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit New York City

Address: 299 South St Pier 36, 299 South St, New York, NY 10002, USA

Museum

“Absolutely mesmerizing experience with a great visual treat for your eyes with amazing music in the background. Very strongly recommend. They also have a nice cafe, parking and great gift shop (but pricey for single items but bundle offers are there) inside. They also check vaccination status. Book tickets at least a few days in advance. Van Gogh's paintings were projected as a video on to all 4 walls and the floor and the transitions were smooth and really good to watch. The entire presentation lasts for about 30-35 minutes but is worth seeing at least twice.”

American Folk Art Museum

Address: 2 Lincoln Square, New York, NY 10023, USA

Museum

“While it's not a massive space, I absolutely loved the collection of Hirschfield pieces. Some truly iconic pieces of art that you won't find anywhere else. Great spot to spend an hour two strolling around along with plenty of space to take a seat and relax. Surprisingly busy. Arrived minutes after they first opened and there was already a small crowd inside. FREE admission. FREE lockers! Clean spacious bathrooms.”

Asia Society and Museum

Address: 725 Park Ave, New York, NY 10021, USA

Museum

“Not very large, but lovely space. Only two floors with exhibit items. Looking forward to going back in June when they have a new exhibit. The museum shop is really nice too.”

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Address: 1000 5th Ave, New York, NY 10028, USA

Museum

“One of the best museums that I've ever been to, aside from the Louvre in Paris. It's one of the few places that is always on my list whenever I'm in New York. The MET is a big museum with lots to see, it's hard to see all the art and artifacts within a day so if you're looking to explore as much of the museum as possible I recommend going early. You can grab a ticket from the ticketing desk when you're there or from the automated kiosk, I highly recommend the automated kiosk since it is much faster. There's audio guides for the art and artifacts within the MET which I highly recommend, since it gives context to what you're looking at. The museum is beautifully set up and built, they have permanent and temporary exhibits. Every exhibit is made with such care that you feel as though you're transported back in time. The Chinese courtyard inside the museum is one of my favourites. I also got a chance to see a lot of beautiful dresses for their fashion week exhibit, which was very tastefully displayed and set up. I highly recommend the MET for anyone looking to checkout a museum with lots of interesting arts and artifacts! It's definitely an experience like no other.”

Whitney Museum of American Art

Address: 99 Gansevoort St, New York, NY 10014, USA

Museum

“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.”

Carnegie Mansion

Address: 2 E 91st St, New York, NY 10128, USA

Museum

“The Carnegie Mansion is a gorgeous Georgian revival style Mansion at Fifth Avenue in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York. The Carnegie Mansion was initially built in 1899 and finally completed in 1902 by Andrew Carnegie, a pioneering steel industrialist and world renowned philanthropist. It served as the primary residence for Andrew Carnegie, his wife, Louis Whitfield and their daughter, Margaret Carnegie Miller. Today, the Carnegie Mansion now serves as the location of the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. In June of 2021, I brought and treated myself and my wife for a visit of the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design. During our self guided tour, my wife and I learned much about Andrew Carnegie and the history of Carnegie Mansion from the museum’s staff. We learned that the Carnegie Mansion was the first private residence to have a Otis passenger elevator and also contain central heating. Both my wife and I highly enjoyed our visit of this breathtaking historic mansion!!!”

Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum

Address: 2 E 91st St, New York, NY 10128, USA

Museum

“After visiting the disappointing Solomon Guggenheim Museum a few blocks away, this museum deserves all five stars! You can expect a timely visit (around an hour) to look through different selections of interesting artifacts, fashion displays, and art works. The interactive touch-screen tables allow you to design 3D buildings and objects, which was super fun even for adults. The interior wood architecture presented a warm feeling of historical Upper-East Side buildings that we see in movies! The garden was well kept and was the perfect way to finish the visit as you can exit from there directly!”

AIA New York | Center for Architecture

Address: 536 LaGuardia Pl, New York, NY 10012, USA

Museum

“Excellent resource for rotating exhibitions and classes related to architecture, design thinking and similar topics.”

Hispanic Society Museum & Library

Address: 613 W 155th St, New York, NY 10032, USA

Museum Library

“One of New York's magical places tucked out of the way but worth the effort. The building is evocative of another era and Pedro de Mena's "Saint Acisclus" sculpture is haunting. Unlike most other museums in NYC - it has never been crowded during my visits.”

Children's Cultural Center of Native America

Address: 550 W 155th St, New York, NY 10032, USA

Museum

“Excellent place to learn about the indigenous people of NYC. Friendly staff, and its very culturally accurate”
