The Museum of Modern Art NYC or 'MoMA,' as it's known by locals, is the most influential modern art museum in the world. It houses one of the best collections of contemporary masterpieces and is an inspiring place to spend an afternoon or an entire day.

The gorgeous building is worth a visit alone – it's filled with light and boasts contemporary space and cutting-edge architecture. Use your New York Explorer Pass for admission and inside you'll find abstract and modern art masterpieces like Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night, Claude Monet’s Reflections of Clouds on the Water-Lily Pond, and Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans. And, when it comes to the classics, you've got pieces from Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat, Paul Cézanne, and many more.

After you've explored the interiors, head to the outdoor garden to relax among the plants and sculptures.

In addition to its premier permanent collection, The Museum of Modern Art regularly showcases a range of special multimedia exhibitions too, so check the schedule before you plan your visit.
