The Museum of Modern Art New York Ticket

MoMa is anything but the traditional museum experience of shuffling from painting to painting. One of the largest and most influential museums in the world, MoMa was founded in 1929 with a gift of eight prints and a single drawing than has evolved into a collection of more than 200,000 pieces. Step inside to discover a panorama of modern and contemporary art, with everything from sculptures, jewels, paintings, photographs, armaments, and even musical instruments. 

With exhibitions and special pieces on constant rotation, you’ll find plenty of classic favorites as well as serendipitous delights. Some of MoMa’s most famous works include Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night, Claude Monet’s Water Lilies, and Pablo Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, plus many more by artists such as Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, and Elizabeth Murray.

Feel the histories and cultures of the world become intertwined as you venture between the collections, which feature Asian, Islamic, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman pieces. Unwind after this visual feast at the rooftop garden, sip on a drink and look out over the Manhattan Skyline and Central Park. It's a quintessential NYC experience you'll treasure forever.

With so many treasures, it's worth planning your visits to each of the three sites. The Met's main site is Fifth Avenue, where you'll find its largest collection of ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary art; The Met Breuer focuses contemporary art; and The Met Cloisters showcases medieval European art from religious buildings. You get unlimited access to all three sites with your ticket, leaving plenty of time to tick off your must-see pieces.
