About this activity
Visit: Whitney Museum of American Art, 99 Gansevoort Street, New York City, NY 10014-1404
As the preeminent institution devoted to the art of the United States, the Whitney Museum of American Art presents the full range of 20th century and contemporary American art, with a special focus on works by living artists. The Whitney is dedicated to collecting, preserving, interpreting, and exhibiting American art, and its collection—the finest holding of twentieth-century American art in the world—is it’s key resource. The Museum's signature exhibition, the Biennial, is the country's leading survey of the most recent developments in American art.
Designed by architect Renzo Piano and situated between the High Line and the Hudson River, the Whitney's new building vastly increases the Museum’s exhibition and programming space, providing the most expansive view ever of its unsurpassed collection of modern and contemporary American art. Enjoy iconic works by Edward Hopper, Jackson Pollack, and Georgia O'Keeffe in natural light filled galleries and sweeping views of Manhattan on the Museum’s outdoor observation decks.
The Whitney welcomes you to the Meatpacking District, a 20 square-block neighborhood with a bustling community of artists, galleries, restaurants, and nightlife. The Museum is steps from the High Line, Chelsea Market, and a short walk from Greenwich Village, where the Museum was founded by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney in 1930.

If I had known that there was no difference between buying from viator and buying my ticket from the cashier, I would not have bought it from viator. I would have bought it directly from the Whitney on line.
Truly a worthwhile experience to visit this museum. Lots of construction around it if you walk but worth the effort.
Great Museum and there was a Calder exhibit as part of the viewings
World class modern art museum in a beautiful building at a great location. Modern art by american artists-- don't expect recognizable classics here although you may recognize a few of the names. Museum is located directly at an entrance to the High Line, NY's wonderful elevated walking park. If you aren't worn out from the museum, step out and stretch your legs. The city views will not disappoint. Lines for the museum can sometimes be long earlier in the day, but are quite reasonable by mid afternoon. Allow at least 2.5 hours to stroll past everything, a bit longer if you want to linger and reflect on this terrific collection.
This tour was amazing!
Very nice
Yes, great. Good time to be there....... Winter....... not crowded.
Fantastic new museum with a great rooftop cafe. Was hoping the ticket would help me skip the long line, which it sort of did, you do have to show your evoucher and trade it in for a ticket at the ticket desk, but they let us cut in line to do that.
