New museum building by Renzo Piano opened in may 2015.Don't miss the interconnected levels of outdoor terraces to appreciate the museum environs. HighLine and skyline. Free tours also available daily.
Jeff Koons was great and what really made it was the public tour my friend and I globbed onto. Very informative and gave context that helped inform the whole exhibit. Also, great selfie opportunities.
Visit The Whitney Museum of American Art to see Jasper Johns Three Flags, one of 151 Jasper Johns Artworks, also one of the Artist's best Flag Paintings, owned by the Whitney Museum.
I would advise to begin your your from the top to bottom. They are open late so don't worry about getting there early in the day. Go in a little bit later to enjoy the dawn.
Incredible collection in a huge new space. Start on the top floor and work your way down to more recent decades. Use the outdoor staircases for beautiful views along the way.
The Whitney Museum is a true sensory indoor-outdoor experience, so make sure to visit the outdoor terraces on the upper floors of the building, you will have a spectacular panoramic view of the city.
