One of the Most Interesting Art Museums in Manhattan

Created by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney  in 1929 in an effort to promote as yet unknown American artists, the Whitney museum has remained true to its cause for the last 80 years. Dedicated entirely to American art, this museum has a huge collection of paintings, sculptures, photography, video, drawings and much more.

Works by such famous artists as Andy Warhol, Maurice Prendergast, Jasper Johns, Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock and Man Ray can be viewed here alongside works by lesser known artists. This Manhattan art museum has regularly changing exhibits along with its permanent collections. The Whitney is open Wednesday through Sunday; general admission is $18.
