MoMA - Museum of Modern Art
MoMA

Opened in 1929, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has become the most influential museum of modern and contemporary art worldwide.

The MoMA Museum in New York is the world's most important museum of modern art. It currently has two sites, the most important in Midtown Manhattan and one in Queens

Collection 

Considered by many to have the best collections of modern art, the MoMA holds masterpieces such as The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon by Picasso, The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dalí and Claude Monet’s Water Lilies.

The MoMA is one of the largest museums of modernist and contemporary art; therefore, it'll take you at least two hours to see the whole museum (at a quick pace). If you don’t have enough time or if modern art isn’t what most interests you, then we recommend you visit at least the 4th and 5th floor, where you'll find some of history’s most famous paintings.

The collection currently holds almost 200,000 works of art.
