Whitney Museum Of American Art

I can’t believe I waited so long to go to the Whitney. It’s a relatively smaller major art museum compared to the other ones in the city, but their permanent collections carry some of the most iconic works in modern art. The temporary exhibition we got the chance to see felt a bit too disjointed and cramped in terms of curation, but a good experience nonetheless. The terrace views of the Hudson river and the city skyline alone are worth going in. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a manageable museum visit.

I went with my children a few weeks ago and it was so much fun! There is so much different artwork, and the atmosphere is so exciting. There were a couple of floors with balconies, and they have different artwork outside! That was so creative in my eyes. They have a restaurant as well which is always a good thing! You have the option to take the elevator or go up/down the stairs which I appreciate because sometimes taking the elevator with a ton of people activates my social anxiety. on the first floor they always have music playing on Fridays and it's so much fun to watch people join. I plan to go back soon!

I came for Free Fridays at the Whitney and it’s such a vibe! I visited the Whitney Museum yesterday and had such a great experience. The museum is full of modern and contemporary art from a variety of artists and time periods, so there’s always something unique to discover on each floor. What really stood out to me were the outdoor terraces — every level has beautiful views of the city skyline, and catching the sunset from there was just amazing. It’s definitely one of the best spots in NYC for both art and views. The layout is easy to navigate, and the galleries are spacious, which makes exploring feel relaxed rather than rushed. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. To finish the evening, I headed up to the rooftop where you can enjoy a drink while looking out over the skyline — a perfect way to end the museum trip. Overall, the Whitney is a must-visit if you enjoy art, city views, or just want a nice cultural outing. I’d definitely recommend going in the late afternoon so you can enjoy the exhibits and then step outside to see the sunset from the terraces.
