Discovering Art: A Quick Museum – Large & Small – Guide

One of the best ways to experience art in NYC is by visiting one of the many museums that call the city home. These choices may seem obvious, but the vast range of artwork offered will shock firsttimers.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum and the Guggenheim Museum are world-renowned museums, and you may not be able to see everything in just one day.
If you’re short on time, or if you’re looking for a more intimate art-viewing experience, there are also numerous smaller galleries scattered throughout NYC. The most adventurous and best places for discovery are scattered around their own neighborhood in Chelsea.
In these smaller galleries you’ll find not only up and coming stars but also private collections of major artists that never appear in the major galleries.
Many of these galleries are free to enter, so they’re a great option if you’re on a budget.
In addition to traditional museums and galleries, there are also many public places where you can view art in NYC. For example, the subway system is home to hundreds of works of art, and many buildings and parks feature sculptures and other works of art. Keep your eyes peeled while walking around NYC—you never know when or where you’ll stumble upon a hidden gem!
