Finding the museum

MoMA is in Midtown Manhattan, on West 53rd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, with entrances on 53rd and 54th Streets.

• By subway or bus: check the current routes to West 53rd Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, before you travel.
• Step-free entry: entrances with power-assist doors are on 53rd and 54th Streets.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Coat checkrooms for general visitors.
• Elevators throughout the museum.
• The Sculpture Garden, weather permitting.
• Free wheelchairs, rollators and portable stools at all entrances.

Bags are checked at the entrance, and some items cannot be left in the coat checkroom. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

All MoMA galleries, entrances and facilities are wheelchair accessible, with elevators throughout and power-assist doors on 53rd and 54th Streets between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• Strollers are welcome, but not on the escalators, and access may be limited in some galleries.
• Free manual wheelchairs, rollators and portable stools are available at all entrances; ask museum staff for assistance.

Enjoy the museum thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Leave the works of art untouched, and keep a little distance from them.
• Bags are checked at the entrance, and visitors walk through a metal detector.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

A little care helps protect the collection and the atmosphere of the galleries for everyone.

Make time for a pause

The streets of Midtown around the museum have cafés and restaurants for a meal before or after your visit.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

The Sculpture Garden is a good place for a break between galleries, weather permitting.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: use an entrance on 53rd or 54th Street and follow your ticket’s instructions.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes, a light layer and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow extra time for the galleries you most want to see and the Sculpture Garden.
