4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2012 NEW

The Neue Galerie is a jewel of a museum just across the street from the biggest museum in the western hemisphere. In contrast to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which cannot be seen in a single day or even in a single week, the Neue Galerie can comfortably be accommodated in a two-hour visit. This is the only museum primarily... More

Oh, Neue Galerie, I adore you so. This gallery has a very intimate feel to it, which is such a pleasure. It's pretty much the polar opposite in feel from the MET (around the corner). But don't let that fool you and think the exhibits won't be worth it, all of the exhibits I have seen here have been very... More

the Neue Gallerie has a great selection of Klimt paintings and drawings, as well as a few Secession style design pieces. However it's only 6-7 rooms, you finish the visit within 1h, so I think the $20 entrance fee is really high. Also there is only one gold famous Klimt piece, the rest are paintings or drawings which do give... More

I go to see Klimt's stunning, gold leafed portrait of Adele Bloch- Bauer (a painting stolen by the Nazis), the fabulous art of the Wiener Werkstatte and the stunning building where all of this lovely artwork is presented. Cafe Sabarsky is a great place to have lunch and the gift shop is amazing. On May 24-August 27, the Neue Galerie... More

It is small, it is rather expensive...it is an absolute must if you like Klimt (as I do). Besides, the best Kokoschka, nice collection of medieval weapons and - last, not least - several marvellous old masters

Located on Museum Mile, upper Fifth Avenue at 86th, the Neue Galerie is a small, outstanding museum housed in an historic residence. As a bonus, there is a delightful turn-of-the-century coffee & pastry shop, Cafe Sabarsky, on the ground floor and the sweet smells drift up the elaborate stairwell. This museum features work from early twentieth century Germany and Austria... More

Moving artwork, all in a comfortable elegant townhouse space. Sketches before the paintings allows you to imagine how the artist developed their ideas and visions. Worth the ticket, you won't get tired out.
