Top Museums in New York

I suggest allowing at least 3 hours for your visit—there's so much to see, and you don't want to rush through it.

After exploring the museum, take some time to walk around the memorial pools outside. It's a peaceful way to reflect, and it's free!

If you’re tight on budget, visit on Fridays after 5 PM when it's free. Just be prepared for larger crowds, but you save a good penny!

My advice is to download the MoMA app before arriving. It has great information about the exhibits and can help you navigate better without spending money on a guide.

I suggest going on a weekday if you can. The weekends can get pretty crowded, and I found it easier to explore the exhibits with fewer people around.

I recommend getting there right when it opens at 10 AM. It’s way less crowded and you can enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed. Trust me, it makes a huge difference!

if you’re planning to check out specific exhibits, make a list beforehand. i almost missed the dinosaur exhibit because i got sidetracked by everything else. plan your route!

If you're planning to check out the special exhibits, I suggest buying tickets online in advance. This will save you time and ensure you don’t miss out on anything exciting

If you're into art, make sure to spend time in the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center. It’s really fascinating, but I think the layout can be confusing, so maybe ask for directions at the info desk.

Check out the fifth floor first! The view of the Hudson River is stunning, and it can get crowded later in the day.

Don’t skip the gardens! They’re a hidden gem and a perfect spot for some quiet reflection. I spent a good chunk of my time there and it was worth it.
