From museums to galleries to garden sculptures to street installations, the City is one big art and culture exhibition. But what’s truly worth checking out and what stands out from the rest? We’ve taken the time to Just Ask The Locals.™ Ivanka Trump is a huge fan of the American Museum of Natural History, and Tim Gunn puts the Metropolitan Museum of Art at the top of his list. Designer Jonathan Adler thinks The Broken Kilometer, by Walter De Maria, is amazing, while Debby Harry thinks P.S. 122 in the East Village and P.S.1 in Queens always put on really great shows and exhibitions.
And earlier this week, we asked you about your favorite place to check out art and culture. We got lots of great responses, but the top 10 places to check out art and culture according to Gothamist readers are:
1: The Museum of Modern Art
2 (tie): The Metropolitan Museum of Art
P.S. 1
Walter Reade Theater at the Film Society of Lincoln Center
5 (tie): New York Philharmonic
New Museum
Brooklyn Museum
Film Forum
The Paley Center for Media
