A must in #NYC
Javier CoboJanuary 7, 2012
Be 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.
John TrigonisFebruary 22, 2015
Make sure you go on a day that all the floors are open.
Bridget WilliamsJanuary 15, 2012

top floor is a wonderful surprise
Martial BénardSeptember 22, 2013
Nothing on show before mid-oct... Poor coffee room with rude waiter... U get charged $4 to see a few pieces by artist Chris Burden, when you can see much more for free in London. New Museum indeed??
Haig BedrossianDecember 31, 2009
The roof top deck is the best permanent exhibit in this place. Check it out! Read more

Free on thursdays from 7-9!!
Marina BuritySeptember 12, 2015
It has a lot of potential, but 2 of the 4 floors were occupied by an artist I hated, so I feel it was not worth the admission's price.
SusumuDecember 18, 2016
Pixel Forest

The bathroom has gorgeous tile pattern
