Kate FurmanOctober 12, 2015Pay as you wish on Thursday nights 7-9 pm. Rooftop is only open on the weekends.
Wallpaper* MagazineNovember 7, 2013To coincide with the opening of its Chris Burden exhibition earlier this month, New York's New Museum unveiled a new eatery, Hester Street Cafe, operated by its neighbour, Hester Street Fair. Read more
Christina ChinSeptember 10, 2015Cool bldg design but I didn't care for current exhibit that much. Oehlen was meh to me. Pay what you wish on thurs after 7
mike castlemanDecember 19, 2015often interesting exhibitions, but kind of pricey given the small size of the place. go instead on Thursday evenings when it's pay-what-you-want.
CompassJuly 22, 2013Find shocking and avant-garde art exhibits at the New Museum, an art space that aims to push conventional boundaries.
Peter DarnellApril 13, 2013This was one of the most disappointing art shows I've seen in some time. Art is not assemblages and average photography about sex, politics and self hatred in order to make socially commentary.
The New Yorker ManagerAugust 30, 20139/2/2013: Ellen Gallagher's "Don't Axe Me": "A 2010 video and slide installation about a shipwreck, housed in a fussily designed black box, is little more than atmospheric." (Through Sept. 15) Read more
StyleiteJuly 5, 2011If you’re not a MoMA person, maybe the highly produced presentation of modern art at the New Museum will strike your fancy.
RazorfishSeptember 19, 2011Relatively new (hence New Museum) — small but with some really interesting modern art, exhibitions and installations.
Abi GoldflakeApril 1, 2010Go up to the education centre on the 5th floor late evening and enjoy the peace and beautiful light - like all the early SoHo artists in their loft studios along Bowery.
Washington Square HotelMay 22, 2012The museum is "New" because all its art is contemporary (there's no permanent collection.) Different types of media are shown.
DailyCandyDecember 10, 2010Breakfast up with maple-bacon biscuits from the first-floor cafe and search for hidden carvings of the museum in the surrounding scrap-wood stools.
Shirin MajidMay 13, 2010One of my favorite museums in town...always inspiring, stimulating...great roofdeck with sweeping views of the cityhttps://thesuspendedlute.wordpress.com/2009/02/24/how-to-see-new-york/ Read more
PLAY FMJuly 26, 2011New York/ possibly our fav. NY Museum, exhibits vary but the Sky Room view on the 7th floor is always amazing.
Leah AndersonJune 9, 2017Do not recommend. Some of the exhibits were extremely obscene and made me feel very uncomfortable. It's safe to say "I did not get it." The staff was also not at all friendly, helpful, or informative.
Deirdre SullivanJanuary 15, 2010A tiny museum that offers a spectacular view of downtown from their outdoor terrace on the top floor. You can given purchase a mini bottle of bubbly to help you enjoy the view. Read more
Kamaria MionDecember 5, 2016Thursday's are pay what you wish! Definitely a museum known for showing 'fun' art
Tania SaidMarch 18, 2013Take the elevator to the Sky Room at rhe top, and use the stairs going down to each level.
Javier CoboJanuary 7, 2012Be prepared for pointless weirdness, barren walls and long lines on the weekend. Also, headaches from moving images and zero information from the limited staff present. The roof is nice.
Gilt CityDecember 8, 2010The New Museum celebrates art rather than just presenting it; it renders adults something akin to playful children looking at the world through new eyes. The leading authority on contemporary art.
The New YorkerAugust 25, 2010Designed by the Japanese architects SANAA: “The visual signals this building sends—it is at once crisp and pliable, solid and permeable—seem deliberately ambiguous.” Read more
AdamNovember 16, 2015Entry is $16 for adults, $10 for students, and What-You-Wish on Thursday evenings between 7 p.m.–9 p.m.
MyCityWayApril 10, 2012Free every Thursday from 7 PM - 9 PM. Don't miss the panoramic views of downtown from the top floor!
Thompson HotelsNovember 17, 2011You won't find a permanent collection here, so this innovative museum is radically different each time you visit.
Great shows of late. Currently Pipilotti Rist
Make sure you get pics with the chicks downstairs & then head to the 7th floor for the real action
The StandardAugust 16, 2010NY (See) Check out this museum to discover kooky new artists and inspiration, then go to the roof to take in the awesome LES view! Read more
Andrew KellerFebruary 23, 2014Admission is free for the duration of the Pawel Arthamer show if you bring a coat to donate to the Bowery Mission.- Thompson HotelsMay 24, 2011Our concierge Ella at Smyth recommends going to the SkyRoom during their free Thursday nights for the best view of the LES imaginable.
MetroFocusJanuary 18, 2012Don't forget to leave time to go up to the roof for some great views! Free Thursdays from 7 – 9 p.m. Discover other museum deals on MetroFocus. Read more
Raphael PradoMarch 29, 2012Definitely, go at Thurs 7pm-9pm, when it's free. It's a good Museum but it doesn't worth the same price of Metropolitan being 1% of Met's size.
Eunice KimSeptember 20, 2015Keep an eye on their events and performances. They host some incredible moments with great artists.
The skyroom offers a stunning view of lower Manhattan. Open on weekends!
