Famous paintings
The collection includes Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night (1889), Claude Monet’s Water Lilies, Paul Cézanne’s The Bather and Henri Rousseau’s The Sleeping Gypsy (1897). Displays change, so check what is on view before your visit.
The Sculpture Garden
General admission includes the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, weather permitting. Philip Johnson redesigned the garden in 1953, and it remains an open-air room in the middle of Midtown.
The building itself
The museum has grown many times since 1939, most recently with an expansion by Diller Scofidio + Renfro with Gensler that reopened in October 2019. Look out for the tall, light-filled atrium spaces between the galleries.
