MoMA Entry Ticket with MoMA PS1 Access Within 14 Days

One ticket, two buildings. It gets you into the Museum of Modern Art at 11 West 53rd Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in Midtown, and for 14 days after that first visit it also opens the door at MoMA PS1, the museum's contemporary art space across the East River in Queens. MoMA is where you go for Van Gogh, Picasso and Warhol, and for the modern and contemporary work that came after them. The collection runs to more than 200,000 works, far more than any single visit can cover, so the galleries on view change as the museum rotates what it shows. Special exhibitions are covered by the same ticket, with no separate booking to make for them. So are the audio programs: the audio guide is free and plays on your own phone, so bring earphones if you want to use it. PS1 moves faster. The program changes often, and depending on the day you might walk into a DJ set, an outdoor event or an interactive installation that wasn't there last month. It suits anyone who likes their art a little less settled, and the 14-day window means you don't have to squeeze both buildings into one afternoon. If modern art has never quite clicked for you, the pairing is a fair test: the canvases everyone knows in Midtown, then a trip to Queens to see what artists are doing now. One thing to keep straight if you are planning a museum day around it: this ticket is for MoMA and MoMA PS1 only. It does not include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which sells its own admission. Cancellation is free any time before the date of your visit.
