MoMA holds 53rd Street between Fifth and Sixth — the Yoshio Taniguchi 2004 extension and the 2019 Diller Scofidio + Renfro renovation, the permanent collection on the fifth and sixth floors with the Van Gogh, the Picasso, the Matisse handled at the level the museum demands. The format is the most consequential modern art collection in the United States.
Take the early Tuesday morning entry for the permanent galleries before the crowd, save the special exhibition for the late afternoon, lunch at The Modern in the sculpture garden. The address is the right answer for the museum day that wants the modern canon at the proper level.
The collection the canon was built on.
