Don&#8217;t expect permanent displays of old masters here; the programme changes constantly and gives space to new artists from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At weekends, you can head up to the rooftop terrace for a fresh view over Lower Manhattan. A ticket costs <strong>roughly $22<\/strong>. Take a look at the current exhibitions at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newmuseum.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">newmuseum.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frick_Collection\"><\/span>Frick Collection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Masterpieces of European painting hang in the luxurious rooms of the former mansion of steel magnate Henry Frick. The <strong>Frick Collection<\/strong> offers a more intimate alternative to the giant institutions. Here you can study rare canvases by Vermeer, Rembrandt and El Greco up close, surrounded by antique furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After an extensive renovation, the museum reopened its doors in 2025. Admission sits at <strong>roughly $30<\/strong>. Keep an eye on news about the reopening at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frick.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">frick.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Neue_Galerie_UES\"><\/span>Neue Galerie (UES)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gustav Klimt&#8217;s portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, known as the Woman in Gold, is the star attraction of this elegant collection. The <strong>Neue Galerie<\/strong> on the Upper East Side specialises in Austrian and German art. After viewing the paintings, stop by the ground-floor Caf\u00e9 Sabarsky for excellent Viennese pastries and coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entry to the gallery costs <strong>roughly $28<\/strong>. \u26a0\ufe0f The management considers the space unsuitable for small children and therefore doesn&#8217;t admit anyone under 12.

The <strong>9\/11 Memorial Museum<\/strong> delivers a powerful and deeply moving experience.

The <strong>National Immigration Museum<\/strong> sits on Ellis Island, right next to the Statue of Liberty. You can walk through the registration rooms and medical offices where decisions were made about whether people would be let into the new world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entry to the building is included in the ticket for the official Statue City Cruises ferry. \u26a0\ufe0f During 2025 and 2026, the island is undergoing an <strong>extensive renovation<\/strong>.

The <strong>Tenement Museum<\/strong> has preserved authentic immigrant apartments from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The guides tell the specific stories of the families who lived in these cramped conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can only see the spaces with a guide; there&#8217;s no self-guided entry.

The <strong>Morgan Library &amp; Museum<\/strong> houses a collection of medieval illuminated manuscripts and original drawings. A rare Gutenberg Bible rests in the vaults. You can also walk through the original study of the influential banker J. P. Morgan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A striking contrast to the historic wing comes from the modern glass pavilion that connects the individual buildings. Admission costs <strong>roughly $25<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll find the details at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themorgan.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">themorgan.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cooper_Hewitt_Smithsonian_Design_Museum\"><\/span>Cooper Hewitt (Smithsonian Design Museum)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The historic residence of industrialist Andrew Carnegie on the Upper East Side hosts exhibitions brimming with creativity. <strong>Cooper Hewitt<\/strong> charts the evolution of design from antiquity to the cutting edge of today. On arrival, you&#8217;re given an interactive stylus. With this digital pen, you can save exhibits that catch your eye into a virtual collection or draw your own patterns on the interactive tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The garden behind the mansion is a great spot to rest after a stroll down Fifth Avenue. A ticket costs <strong>roughly $22<\/strong>. The current programme is posted at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhewitt.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">cooperhewitt.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Intrepid_Sea_Air_Space_Museum\"><\/span>Intrepid (Sea, Air &amp; Space Museum)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The real aircraft carrier USS Intrepid is permanently moored at Pier 86 on the Hudson River. This <strong>military and naval museum<\/strong> will thrill anyone who loves technology. On the flight deck, you can get up close to dozens of historic fighter jets, while a separate pavilion is home to the original Space Shuttle Enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tour also includes a descent into the cramped quarters of the submarine Growler. Tickets start <strong>from $13.20<\/strong> depending on the attractions package you choose. You&#8217;ll find the opening hours at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidmuseum.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">intrepidmuseum.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Cloisters_medieval_art\"><\/span>The Cloisters (medieval art)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stones from several ruined French monasteries were shipped across the ocean and reassembled into a new building. <strong>The Cloisters<\/strong> sits in the north of Manhattan in the peaceful Fort Tryon Park. This branch of The Met focuses exclusively on the art and architecture of the European Middle Ages. You&#8217;ll see the rare Unicorn Tapestries and tranquil inner gardens planted with herbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A visit here transports you from the noisy metropolis into the silence of a European monastery. Entry to the site is <strong>included in your main Met ticket<\/strong>. Look for transport information at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/cloisters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">metmuseum.org\/cloisters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"846\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/muzea-cloisters.jpg\" alt=\"The medieval museum The Cloisters in Fort Tryon Park\" class=\"wp-image-227859\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/muzea-cloisters.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/muzea-cloisters-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/muzea-cloisters-700x463.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/muzea-cloisters-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/muzea-cloisters-696x460.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Cloisters, a branch of the Met (photo: GK tramrunner RU, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Free_museums_and_how_to_save_on_admission\"><\/span>Free museums and how to save on admission<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cultural institutions can swallow a big chunk of your travel budget. \u26a0\ufe0f We strongly want to flag the rules of the pay-what-you-wish system at The Met and AMNH. This option applies <strong>ONLY to residents of NY, NJ and CT<\/strong>. Tourists pay full admission. The same rule limits the popular Free Friday at MoMA, too. Locals get in free, but as a tourist you&#8217;ll have to buy a ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some places, though, open their doors free of charge to ALL visitors without exception. You don&#8217;t need a ticket for the magnificent <strong>New York Public Library<\/strong>. Its famous Rose Main Reading Room and the lion statues named Patience and Fortitude can be seen at no cost. From 1 January 2026, the contemporary art centre MoMA PS1 in Queens will join the list of free institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning to visit three or more paid attractions, consider buying a tourist pass. The <strong>CityPASS at $154<\/strong> covers five major attractions, while the flexible Go City Explorer starts from $89. You can pick up standard tickets and special passes through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/cs-cz\/s\/?q=new+york+museum&amp;partner_id=MKZ64IS&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">GetYourGuide<\/a>, where you can easily check availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Always buy tickets to your chosen galleries online. You&#8217;ll save precious time in the queues and, in MoMA&#8217;s case, a few dollars too. \u26a0\ufe0f For summer 2026, we expect a <strong>huge surge of tourists<\/strong>. The city is hosting the FIFA World Cup and celebrating 250 years of American independence, so book your tickets well in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_tips_for_visiting_the_museums\"><\/span>Practical tips for visiting the museums<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Book online:<\/strong> Buying over the internet will save you tens of minutes of waiting at the box office. At MoMA, you&#8217;ll also pay two dollars less.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plan ahead at The Met:<\/strong> The building is enormous. Pick two or three specific wings in advance. Don&#8217;t try to race through everything in one day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watch out for the cloakrooms:<\/strong> Large backpacks and rucksacks are a problem. Security won&#8217;t let you in with them, and the cloakrooms are often full. Bring a small bag.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the most of bad weather:<\/strong> A rainy day is the perfect time to explore the exhibitions. Just be prepared for more people with the same idea.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get an early start:<\/strong> First thing in the morning after opening, or during a weekday, you&#8217;ll find far fewer visitors in the halls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Download the apps:<\/strong> Official audio guides are usually free and run right on your phone. They&#8217;ll deepen your understanding of the works on display.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>American institutions tend to be heavily air-conditioned in summer. Pack a light jumper or hoodie in your bag, otherwise you&#8217;ll be shivering after an hour of admiring paintings. Wear your most comfortable trainers, too. Marble and concrete floors really take a toll on your feet after a few kilometres of walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_and_experiences_from_visitors\"><\/span>Tips and experiences from visitors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Experienced travellers tend to agree on a few essential rules. Before your trip, give these practical insights some thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pay-what-you-wish warning:<\/strong> Visitors from the UK pay full price at the AMNH and The Met. Don&#8217;t try to haggle at the box office; the rules are crystal clear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You can&#8217;t do The Met in a day:<\/strong> Just pick your favourite sections. Speed-walking through the whole building only leads to total exhaustion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A refuge from the extremes:<\/strong> Museums make a perfect shelter from summer heat or unexpected rain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Good timing:<\/strong> Early hours on weekdays mean shorter queues at the box office and the toilets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lesser-known museums:<\/strong> The Frick Collection, Morgan Library and Neue Galerie tend to be quieter. They often deliver a stronger experience than the overcrowded headline attractions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Every institution occasionally changes its opening days or closes certain wings while new exhibitions are being installed. Check current opening hours on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Met&#8217;s official website<\/a> and those of the other galleries mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_near_the_museums\"><\/span>Where to stay near the museums<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for a hotel within walking distance of the main cultural hubs? Focus on the famous <strong>Museum Mile along the eastern side of Central Park<\/strong>. The Upper East Side neighbourhood offers a calmer atmosphere and quick access to The Met, the Guggenheim and the Neue Galerie. Accommodation here is on the pricier side, but you&#8217;ll save time on morning subway trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A second great option is the Upper West Side neighbourhood on the opposite side of the park. From here, you can walk to the AMNH natural history museum. The streets are lined with beautiful historic townhouses, and you&#8217;ll find plenty of small caf\u00e9s serving vegetarian dishes. Both neighbourhoods stand out for being safe even after dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want the museums on your doorstep, take a look at accommodation near Museum Mile on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=muzea&#038;address=Upper%20East%20Side%2C%20New%20York\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Upper East Side<\/a> or in the quieter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=muzea&#038;address=Upper%20West%20Side%2C%20New%20York\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Upper West Side<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=muzea&#038;address=New%20York\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">compare all accommodation in New York<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_next\"><\/span>Where to next<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Already picked your galleries and looking for inspiration for the rest of your trip?
