My favorite museum

UTDT from 10012 | Posted on 10/23/09

Overall Rating: 9 (Highly Recommended)

Would you go back?

Yes

A favorite museum. I never tire of the permanent collection. One of my favorite things to do is to walk through the fifth floor. Recent shows from William Eggleston to Georgia O'Keeffe have been critically acclaimed, whilst lobby gallery exhibitions continue to bring in impressive contemporary talent. A manageable, delightful museum trip every time. I am looking forward to the upcoming Roni Horn exhibition.

Whitney..Save Your Money..Don't Go

Would you go back?

This museum was dull, dirty, unexciting and RIDICULOUS. I know that avant garde and modern is new and exciting but really, this museum is on it's last legs. We were charged 15 dollars each to see some lovely Hoppers and a Jasper Johns... OK. But videos of people doing stupid things, old, worn out plastic food...like what kids do in school...glass partitions around a room with mirros? Give me a break. One of the greatest disappointments in NY.
