The MoMA is one of the most famous galleries in the world and contains modern art from all areas of the arts, including painting, sculpture, design, music, video and architecture. *Location* The Museum of Modern Art is located in Midtown Manhattan, and is very easy to find with a map (it is marked on most street maps of New York) especially as Manhattan streets are mostly completely straight and numbered! This is a busy area of New York, between the Rockefeller Centre and Central Park, and not far from Times Square, the Theatre District and all the other major NY attractions. *Layout* The gallery has a large lobby with a reception desk, a ...

MOMA, at W 53rd Street between 5th and 6th Avenues, had a fabulous facelift a few years ago. The recent renovation, courtesy of Yoshio Taniguchi, created exciting fresh public spaces, with greatly improved facilities for visitors and expanded galleries that can hold more of this museum's outstanding collections. It's a bewildering experience, especially for the uninitiated and so it is best to pick up a trail or speak to the staff about what to see if you have limited time. It's a bit of an art sweet shop with every major modern artist covered here from Picasso, Matisse and Mondrian to Dali, Pollock and Warhol. The fifth floor contains 19th century ...
