Most Famous Paintings at the MoMA New York

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) was founded in 1929, and is currently one of the most influential museums of modern art in the world. At the MoMA you will find the best paintings by Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Paul Cézanne, Gustav Klimt, Salvador Dalí, Andy Warhol and other leading contemporary artists.

Although the museum has a collection of nearly 200,000 pieces, today I’m sharing a selection of famous artworks that you cannot miss during your visit to the MoMA! I captured the majority of these photos on the fourth and fifth floor of the museum – where you will find the MoMA’s most popular paintings. Let’s get started!

The Starry Night, Vincent van Gogh (1889)

Here are three more paintings that I found to be stunning. In the middle you can see Tree of Paradise by Séraphine Louis, you can find this piece on the 5th floor of the museum.

Plan Your Visit to the MoMA

The main works are located on floors 4 and 5, so my recommendation is to start your visit there, and make your way down.

Get your ticket in advance, and go early in the morning! When I visited the museum I waited around thirty minutes in line at the ticket counter.

How much does it cost to visit the MoMA?

Tickets to visit the MoMA in New York cost $25 for adults, and $18 for seniors 65 and over with ID. Full-time students with ID, including international students, pay $14. Children 16 and under can visit the museum for free. Tickets include admission to all galleries and special exhibitions.

Do NYC residents go to the MoMA free?

Tickets for UNIQLO NYC Nights are free for New York City residents but must be
reserved in advance (up to two adults), and are subject to availability and proof of
residency. Tickets are released one week before each event.

WHY I LOVE THE MET IN NYC AND YOU WILL TOO

I love The MET! If you are planning a trip to New York City in the near future, add The MET (Metropolitan Museum of Art) to the list of things you need to see during your visit to the city. The MET was founded on April 13, 1870 to encourage and develop the study of the fine arts, and over the years has become the largest art museum in the United States! The massive building (see the image that I shared at the start of this post) is perched on the edge of Central Park on Fifth Avenue in the Upper East Side. The museum’s permanent collection contains over two million works, that are enjoyed by more than 6 million visitors per year.

I’ve had the opportunity to visit The MET a few times over the years, and I can’t help but gasp each time I enter the Greek and Roman art wing. The way that bodies used to be carved out of marble is mesmerizing, I highly recommend you spend some time checking out the sculptures in the gallery. I could sit and look at paintings or sculptures all day long.

As I type this there are only two months left in this year (can you believe that?!), yet I will try to visit The MET once more before the holidays, especially to check out the “A New Look at Old Masters” exhibit. This exhibit includes paintings by Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck and François Boucher. Visiting museums during chilly Fall or Winter afternoons is one of my favorite things to do in the city! *

* Update! In March 2022, I had the opportunity to visit The Met once again! As I had mentioned earlier, there were two specific exhibitions that I wanted to go see: Dutch Masterpieces & A New Look At Old Masters. Both were a total dream. If you appreciate seeing the work of great artists of former times, I highly recommend both exhibitions!!
