ArtDesignClosed todayFrom $30Fifth Avenue/53rd Street (E, M)

The Museum of Modern Art holds one of the world's most important collections of modern and contemporary art, spanning painting, sculpture, photography, film, design, and architecture from the 1880s to today. Founded in 1929 by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller and two fellow patrons, it pioneered the museum treatment of modern art and now displays icons like Van Gogh's The Starry Night, Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, and Monet's Water Lilies. A major 2019 expansion enlarged the galleries, while the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden remains a tranquil Midtown oasis.
