Itinerário
Como a proeminente instituição dedicada à arte dos Estados Unidos, o Whitney Museum of American Art apresenta a variedade completa da arte americana do século XX e contemporânea, com um foco especial em obras de artistas vivos. O Whitney é dedicado a coleta, preservação, interpretação e exposição de arte americana, e sua coleção—o mais requintado acervo de arte americana do século XX no mundo—é o seu recurso-chave. A Bienal, exposição de assinatura do Museu, é a mais importante pesquisa do país quanto aos desenvolvimentos mais recentes em arte americana. Projetado pelo arquiteto Renzo Piano e situado entre o parque High Line e o Rio Hudson, o novo prédio do Whitney aumenta muito o espaço de exposições e programação, fornecendo a mais amplas visão de todos os tempos de sua inigualável coleção de arte moderna e contemporânea americana. Desfrute de emblemáticas obras de Edward Hopper, Jackson Pollack e Geórgia O'Keeffe em suas galerias repletas de luz natural e de vistas deslumbrantes de Manhattan nos deques de observação ao ar livre do Museu. O Whitney lhe dá as boas-vindas ao Bairro de Meatpacking, um bairro de 20 quarteirões, com uma vibrante comunidade de artistas, galerias, restaurantes e vida noturna. O Museu fica a poucos passos do parque High Line, do Mercado de Chelsea, e à curta distância de Greenwich Village, onde o Museu foi fundado por Gertrude Whitney Vanderbilt em 1930.

When you by on this site you will have to turn you voucher or shoe your phone in the ticket line to get tickets to enter.
It is an interesting building with beautiful views of the river. 8 floors. Start at the top. There are elevators. Full disclosure: this is a museum of modern American art. That is not my cup of tea. That said, there were many interesting pieces including Warhol and Hopper. We did the whole thing in about an hour. Easy subway ride and walk. We followed the directions on the website.
The art was interesting for the most part. But what really stands out for me is the building itself. It’s really pretty and dynamic and has crazy views of the city! We visited on a day when the entrance was free. Be sure to check that in advance —I highly recommend it. The only thing I didn’t like much (but it’s not really the museums fault) is the vibe of the visitors. Many were pretentious young people who clearly cared more about aesthetics and the DJ at the lobby than anything else.
The new Whitney Museum at the High Line is a building designed by Renzo Piano that contains one of the most interesting art collections in the city. The layout of the visit is very attractive as you can move through the interior using the elevators or entering and exiting the galleries to terraces that have views of New York. It is undoubtedly a recommended visit for those who enjoy 20th-century and early 21st-century art. Dedicate at least three or four hours to it.
Not the biggest collection, compared to The Met and MoMA. Some interesting exhibits but didn't take long to get through it all
The visit is pleasant, and the museum is clean, modern, and well-organized. However, if you are passing through New York with limited time, this is not necessarily a priority among all the must-sees in the city. The experience remains interesting, but in my opinion, there are other museums or activities that are more noteworthy to prioritize first.
Make sure if you click’2 adult tickets by mistake and you really need 2‘senior,’ know that you have to pay for 4 tickets even tho you think you’ve deleted the ‘2 adult.’
Don't Miss Calder's Circus! We went to The Whitney to see the Mary Heilmann exhibit, which consisted of one gallery with colorful walls and chairs. And frankly, this writer enjoyed sitting down for a moment after standing on the subway and then walking several blocks to the museum. Plus, the view out the windows of some unusual and rather whimsical, undulating architecture was spectacular (see photo). We had advanced tickets, but I'm not really sure we needed them. Prices are reasonable - $24 for seniors; $30 for adults... We really enjoyed the permanent collection, starting with the top floor and the Calder's Circus exhibit (see photos). Not only will you see the whimsical wire circus figures and paintings, but there's a film to watch with Calder himself, performing a little show with some of the figures. We walked through every floor of the museum, seeing some familiar artists, like Roy Lichtenstein, and many we were glad to learn about. I would estimate that two hours would be about right for a visit here. I am really glad we went to the Whitney.
An exceptional space with the best of a wide range of American art. Start at the top floor, walk through the galleries and pause for a time on the outside deck with views of Meatpacking the Highline, Little Island (Hudson River), and the city. The cafe serves pastries from Frenchette, and there are tables outside on the deck. After that walk down the outside staircase to the next galleries.
Very good museum with beautiful American art. Start from the last floor and continue down. There is also a terrace with beautiful views of the Village and New Jersey. Admire Hoppers, in addition to other American classics.
