This VIP tour is offered only to 5 or less people and includes pass the line coat check.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York is one of the city’s prized art institutions.  Founded in the 1940s, by the Rockefellers and other New York socialites, the museum showcased  in its beginnings some of the world's greatest modern artists including Vincent Van Gogh, Salvador Dali and Picasso.  Today the museums collection focuses on art from the early 20th century to the present day and on American and European artists as well as international artists. 

 

The museum's 6 floors feature a collection spanning from 1890 to today.  With its two restaurants, bookstore, gift shop and courtyard it’s a bit like a shopping mall.  This tour will allow you to navigate the museum with ease and see the major highlights of the museum with in depth explanations all under two hours.    

 

We will start with the museum's greatest hits from post-Impressionism with Van Gogh's ¨Starry Night¨, and move to Picasso's cubist breakthrough ¨Demoiselles d'Avignon¨.  From there we will follow the history of the major modern art movements in the 20th century surrealism - Dali, abstract expressionism -  Jackson Pollock and pop art - Andy Warhol. 

 

We will also look at select temporary exhibits which rotate on a seasonal basis.  If you are a major art fan or just want to know about modern art, this tour is for you!  These tours are set at a maximum of 5 people for a more 
Intimate and friendly experience.!
