Nice selection of paintings, sculpture and photos with an American theme. Holds the classic American Gothic painting by Grant Wood. The location is right next to one end of the High Line, an elevated tram converted to a urban pathway. The views from the balcony are very nice. The United restaurant on the ground floor was very good. I spent about 4 hours at this enjoyable museum.

Went for the Grant Wood American Gothic and Other Fables Exhibit. The museum is cool, and in a great area (right in Chelsea, near the water, and situated at the end of the High Line). It has balconies with great views of the city. The Grant Wood exhibit (2018) was really well done and very interesting and informative. I highly recommend the audio guide. There were also lots of other interesting things to see, although I would recommend waiting until they have a major exhibit that interests you before visiting. The building is nice, simple, and there’s a free coat check, plus a restaurant and a cafe.

There's a reason why Whitney Museum remains as my favourite art museum in the world, rivalled perhaps only by Tate Modern in London. Unlike MOMA, Whitney's layout is theme based, and each level conveys a central message through a variety of artworks, instead of arranging them by type. It has an impressive collection of Edward Hopper's painting, whom is easily my favourite painter of all time. Also, its open balcony and the views over the Meatpacking District is also a notable highlight. Checkout the nearby High Line Park and Chelsea Market if you have time.

The new building is beautiful and modern, the Grant Wood exhibit was well worth the trip. But the balance of the space is sparsely populated with the same self-indulgent, lazy and largely irrelevant conceptual and pop art that the Whitney has been known for. The outdoor roof space is a great place to relax, but hardly worth the $25 admission. There is also a surprisingly small amount of actual gallery space for such a large building. And the galleries, besides being largely empty, are arranged over multiple floors that require a lot of up and down stairs. I'm guessing most of the enormous building is dedicated to raising money to pay for the enormous building, because there isn't that much art on view. They do have an exceptional permanent collection, but for some reason the vast majority of it's rarely on view.

This is one of the most beautiful galleries I've ever been it. Art inside was also great. I went on a Saturday an it wasn't as crowded as any other galleries/museums I visited during my stay at NY. From there you can walk through the High Line, or just walk around Chelsea for more art insights.
