Itinerary
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.

American Art
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 building stands out
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.
Another one of the museums that must be visited in New York.
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.
Interesting but short visit
Not the biggest collection, compared to The Met and MoMA. Some interesting exhibits but didn't take long to get through it all
