I was shocked that four hours at the Neue Galerie New York was not enough for me! Next time I will dedicate the entire eight hours to the experience.This is truly a wonderful event in SoCal. Take the subway, stroll through a wide variety of galleries, sip wine and meet the artists, and bask in the slightly frightening yet strangely alluring glow of Downtown!

To the reviewer who realized the admission price is astronomical: the impoverished also adore great art. We stand in queue on Friday nights from well before 5pm for FREE admission. Its crowded inside, but I focus so its just me and the all-consuming paintings. The Neue Glerie. does love the poor!

Its definitely not a massive-kind but the collection--including those by Klimt, Schiele and Kandinsky--is powerful and impressive. The building and lighting in it are also refined and elegant. The unexpected gem was the museum store which almost felt like an art piece itself.

The Neue Galerie is an outstanding boutique museum in terms of its permanent collection and its temporary exhibitions as well as the ways in which the curators arrange the art work. However, the entrance fee is too high -- especially for artists who are interested in Austrian modernism and need to repeatedly view these works of art. Further, entrance to the Neue is higher than the entrance fee at the Vatican, the Uffizi, the Louvre, and the other magnificent, comprehensive world class museums. It costs more to see Golden Adele than the Sistine Ceiling, the Primavera, and the Mona Lisa. The public must be paying for Golden Adele, at least in part. Dear Neue, when you re-open your doors after the pandemic, please make your entrance fee reasonable. You can afford it. Maybe reduce the entrance fee a little or adopt the pay as you wish approach with certain restrictions. When put in proper context, most people agree that your entrance fee is exorbitant. Might be a good idea to require your security guards to tone it down too. Apparently, the Neue believes there is a need to be better protected than the White House. Thank you.

Amazing museum. I cant wait to go back!

Unfortunately, this place is no take photo policy.Great collection but not worth to become a member.

I’ve never seen such a private gallery be so absolutely wonderful. The cool antique place and the people working there created an interesting and refined positive atmosphere. The gallery’s art is just magnificent. The current exhibition includes Klimt’s golden portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, reason enough to visit.The gallery has an exact replica of an Austrian cafe where the Neue gallery owners liked to take a cup of coffee. Coffee was great and this chocolate mousse dessert even betterA NY must

This is the monthly ritual of hipsters, food truck fiends, and corporate oppressed minions attempting to revolt against their overseer through drunken dabachury. In a sense, its mecca. Thank you DLTA Art Walk.

Its my second time visiting Neue Galerie. Its such a nice pleasure to be able to enjoy Klimts painting.And the gift shop also has nice selections of art books and posters.

Excellent museum with beautiful, iconic pieces. (I am speaking from an art historian’s point of view.) In addition, it is a relatively quiet, lesser known museum to visit and is much smaller if you don’t want to stay indoors all day or if you want to visit a museum but only have an hour or two.

I love eating and shopping here. Funny to find the same the same steiff stuffed bear from my childhood except this one growls. The perfume scent is subtle and the packaging is beautiful. Perfume refills are available at some department stores. The Austrian art exhibition features some paintings from Estee Lauders collection as well as decorative objects.

Beautiful art in a beautiful building. It’s lovely to see Klimt and Schiele in such intimate surroundings and the Lady in Gold is stunning. There are a couple of fancy Viennese cafes as well. They have very strict security and will jump on you in a minute if you try to take photos..it doesn’t stop folks from trying, though! I managed a few cause I waited till the were going after someone else to snap them. The Franz Marc and August Macke show was well curated with a large selection of beautiful works. I really appreciated learning so much about their lives and relationship. I’d come back for another temporary exhibit for sure, given the quality of this one! Great gift shop, more of a book store, with all sorts of titles related to Vienna and it’s artists.

TIDY AND FOCUSED,the Neue Gallerie feels older than it is, having been opened fewer than 20 years ago in a Fifth Avenue mansion completed in 1914. The centerpiece of the institution is a portrait by Klimt of an early 20th century woman that is captivating and storied, and it’s quite possible to sit with the painting for five or 10 minutes. Try that at the Louvre with the Mona Lisa! A fine place at the top of Museum Mile.

Come for the gallery, stay for lunch. A perfect mid day event.

One of the best small galleries in New York. Obviously it gets a lot of leverage now from the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, however its really worth taking more time to see their well curated exhibitions and their small but interesting permanent collection. Cafe Sabarsky is a nice Viennese experience in Midtown as well. Go early though - it gets busy quickly, particularly on weekends.

After my visit to almost every museum in Vienna, Austria that houses Gustav Klimt art, I knew I needed to visit Neue Galerie to drink in the beauty of “The Woman in Gold.” She did not disappoint. The museum is located inside a gorgeous mansion, and super quiet. I liked that as I soaked in all of the culture. *NOTE* No photographs are allowed on the 2nd and 3rd floors. It’s written in the brochure I didn’t read.

Beautiful, small gallery containing Gustav Klimt’s ‘Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I’ (affectionately known as the Woman in Gold painting) that was confiscated by the Nazis and later won back by the subject’s niece in an intense court battle with the Austrian government. You can’t take photographs of the painting in the gallery, but they have a replica in the basement. Breathtaking to view it in person. New York is lucky to have it!Museum cafe is also nice, though caters to wealthier clientele.

You REALLY gotta be into Viennese art for this place. Small and very manageable museum in terms of size for a short visit. Excellent docents.

Recommend watching the movie “Woman in Gold” to learn the important history about how Gustav Klimt’s painting “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I” (also called The Lady in Gold or The Woman in Gold) came to be on display at Neue Galerie.

Great photos are not allowed so I made some very fast sketches!

Very cozy, a museum with many wonderful works by famous artists from Germany, Austria and other countries.Unfortunately, it was impossible to take pictures. Although I really wanted to get a camera ...))

Permanent collection and exhibits are top notch. Well worth the visit. Arrive just before 9am (cafe opening time) and avoid lines to the cafe. Highly recommend this museum.

Very nice art. I especially liked the third floor. They have a cafe in the basement that had no line when we visited. The food was great and the staff were nice.

Fantastic experience. A great option when you have a little over an hour to to spend and want to see one of the unique treasures of the world/New York. The third floor exhibit featuring the life and work of dOra Kallmus was surprisingly as touching for me as the Klimt exhibit. Memorable and worth the trip!

A place that make me nostalgic to Vienna Austria, love it, yummy coffee, great authentic desserts! Rustic seating how can I not love it! And great great art!

One of my favorite in NYC not far from Met and other museums. It has not only the paintings of Klimpt but also his numerous sketches. Also check the bookstore there. The adjacent cafe Sabarsky adds Vienna experience and the location is perfect to see the Upper East Side.

My favorite gallery in NYC. The intimate scale of the well-appointed gallerie provides a perfect backdrop to whatever exhibition they are curating. The Ernst Ludwig Kirchner exhibition (through Jan 13, 2020) is a rare chance to see so many of his works together.

As an Austrian I was very eager to come to this gallery solely displaying German and Austrian art. Great collection of Schiele, Kokoschka, Klimt, ...If you like Expressionism this is the place to be.

The inside is very beautiful! I am satisfied and recommend it to everyone!

I feel bad for all the amazing artists whos work wound up in this place. Simply put, its stodgy. You cant walk around with your jacket slung over your arm. Security will watch you the entire time youre in a gallery, ready to pounce. Not at all a comfortable enviornment to view art in.

Great lunch at pricey dining room, a lovely exhibit, $16 for seniors, plus they checked my luggage, something the Met Museum wont.

I loved and was fully overwhelmed by the Klimt exhibit. The other floors/art and prints failed to capture me. I admit many others were fully engrossed. The profound depression and sadness of the lengthy bios could not elevate my experience. Thankful to encounter woman in Gold and several other striking pieces. Overall, I am very grateful to have had the experience with Klimt. Beautiful location.

I had a remarkable time. I’ve never been to a gallery/museum like this and I plan on coming back not just on the first Friday of the month when the museum is free to the public from 6pm-8pmI was very pleased to see Klimt’s work as well as many pieces from the Wiener Werkstaette collective.Extremely friendly security guards and staff. No pictures are allowed.The lines for the cafes were long but I will definitely be back!

Just the right size with a fascinating art collection from the turn of the last century in Vienna. Dont miss it. Also the cafe is excellent.

The Neue Galerie is located allow Fifth Ave in New York Citys upper east side. It is a museum open to the public, created by Ronald S. Lauder, and has a mission devoted to early twentieth-century German and Austrian art and design. The institutions collection focuses on the fine art work of Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, Richard Gerstl, and Alfred Kubin and the design work of the Wiener Werkstätte by Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Dagobert Peche, as well as architects like Adolf Loos, Joseph Urban, and Otto Wagner.

Nice small gallery for expressionism paintings from Masters like Gustav Klimt and Egon schiele, Otto Dix etc. Klimts famous golden woman is also there on the 2nd floor guess lots of ppl come for that! 1st floor is the reception and theres souvenir shops and a small cafe. oh and you cannot take photos on the 2nd and 3rd floor where the paintings are, not even outside in the hall

I liked being able to see the art. The museum is quite small and takes very little time to get through. There is hardly any available seating. The exhibitions could be a bit more dynamic. Customer service was very good.

I went to see the Klimt exhibit. They wouldnt allow photography in the Museum so I had to settle for a duplicate of the Adele painting they kept for the museums patrons to photograph. Stopped in the Cafe for some coffee and cake before leaving. Very good

I love their exhibitions. Very nice stylish private museum with European culture in it .

Gustav Klimts Woman in Gold was more inspiring they I could have imagined. Please visit this gem of a museum.

Although this is a small museum, it contains amazing treasures. Klimts masterpiece, a portrait of Adele, or the woman in gold dominates the second floor. You cant take your eyes off it. There are several other Klimts and in sharp contrast the drawings of Egon Shiel. No pictures allowed in the main galleries.

Fantastic Gallery. Among his works of art is the painting by Gustav Klimt, Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer I.

The building itself is really quite nice. Aside from the Lady in Gold didnt enjoy the exhibits much. In particular Kirchner is the stuff of bad dreams. Disturbing work by a disturbed individual which did evoke emotions but none good.

It has the woman in gold which I consider one of klimts finest works

Nice visit. Staff was great. Would return

Attended a 3:30 tour offered Friday to Monday. Seemed popular and provided history of the Adele and Weimar portraits. Otherwise, short visit and lacked history behind the artifacts.Very kind and welcoming admissions staff.No bottled water or photos except first floor.

The Neue Galerie New York (German for: New Gallery) is a museum of early twentieth-century German and Austrian art and design located in the William Starr Miller House at 86th Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City. Established in 2001, it is one of the most recent additions to New York Citys famed Museum Mile, which runs from 83rd to 105th streets on Fifth Avenue in the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Nice little gallery with several Klimt pieces (including the famous one from the film, Woman in Gold) and a great cafe that feels like a classic Viennese cafe. Very near the Met, its worth stopping by if youre museum hopping.

Awesome place and story, great paintings of some great artists.

Excellent collection of German and Austrian Art, Nice is you only have 60-90 minutes, 2 floors! No Photography Inside.

Good atmophere and nice cafe. Staffs were friendly, and the art pieces were very nice and thought provoking.

To be able to stand in front of so many Gustav Klimt paintings is such a privilege. The building itself (once owned by the Vanderbilt family) is worth a visit even without the Klimt’s....... an awesome place to visit.

A gem of a museum. Don’t miss it. First Friday’s 5-8, there is free admission. Cafe Sabarsky brought us deliciously back to Vienna.

I wanted to go to this gallery to see The Woman in Gold. It was 95 outside. We were told by Security meanly that we could not take water into the gallery. Were told to stand outside and drink it!! The Met and Guggenheim allows water. So we left, drank our water and returned. A group of 3 women were chatting outside. We had no idea there was a line so we walked into the gallery. We were yelled at by two security guards to wait outside. So Incredibly rude. I’m not going to spend money where I am mistreated. Not worth it!!

Sumptuous and elegant. Small in a good way: 2 floors of concentrated brilliance and easy to see everything.

Really lovely house and design, interesting exhibits but the rules to enter are ridiculous. Makes you feel like Germany in 1945... no EMPTY water bottles in your bag, bags in front of your chest at all time, should you dare taking your phone out someone is appearing next to you, starring at your screen so you don’t take a picture, a lady with a small child in a pram was told she could only enter if she had a sling with her and “wore” the child in front of her chest... Very expensive for a place where you can spend 90min top. Maybe relax a little, Neue Galerie.

Finally got to see Gustav Klimpts Woman in Gold! Spectacular piece along with other Klimpts works! Truly this piece is where it ought to be given the immense fight to bring it here!

No photo allowed in the gallery, meaning they don’t need advertising on FB, Instagram or so...-disappointing for us wanting taking photos only for ourselves!The curious thing was the staff at the entry didn’t allow putting our empty water plastic bottle in the backpack to store at the intended storage, asking to throw it!The gallery is relatively small but the Kirchner exposition is worth visiting. Due to a guided visit organized by the local staff for those interested, the other visitor were simply displaced and asked to leave the course of the tour- not nice for people paying for audio guide self visit!

Beautiful gallery with a selection of Klimt paintings and stunning turn of the century Austrian jewellery and household objects. Currently suggested entry as no exhibition on. Lovely shop. Very over-rated cafe however -nothing like a Viennese cafe.

I loved the museum because there were Klimts artwork. However, the museum only provides one stair with three rooms. Its kinda small.

Marvelous painting Adele from Klimt. And Schiele, Moser and Hoffmann, Loos. Excelent restaurant Cafe Sabarsky!

Great Vienna piano spot. Amazing coffee and deserts. Recommend.

Small but nicely exhibited collection. The Viennese style restaurant is a nice touch.

Worthwhile to visit if you like Klimt.

A delightful visit on a Friday evening. I took advantage of the free admission offered on the first Friday of the month. Consider arriving a little early to minimize waiting times into the museum. Once in, youll get to enjoy the many Post-Impressionist works in the four-storey gallery building.

At least a 50 for the art. Art lovers unite! German, Austrian, and Jewish/other artists who worked there mostly from a certain period-it is a collection. But their frame of reference, and special works and exhibitions is more broad and displays are always a delightful, well curated interjections-not unharmonious. I am never offended by false statements and hogwash opinions, just facts, please.First Fridays are really crowded, but the cafe at all times is wonderful and free for entry, an affordable contrast to a tea house is the coffee house and the kaffe and tortes are good.I am thankful to have this collection of cultural and historical significance in NY. I can remember when hardly anyone had heard of these artists, including Klimt. Movies and media aside, the period of the fin de siecle is one of my favorites and this houses a lovely homage to it, as well as a rotating collection of fine art from the area. I particularly like the design pieces when they are on display and the special exhibitions and models of architecture, etc.Check online and have a look at past exhibitions. The gift shop/bookstore is a treasure trove of unique items, books from the same period, artist biographies, and other art books.There is an elevator and places to sit in some of the galleries for reflection, so older people and disabled are accommodated nicely. Nice bathrooms.In NYC, it is one of the metonymical museums-what we see and what we think of when we see it. Priceless. A treasure that makes a statement about German art and the contributions of those people on the world, though a small example, is monumentwl in so many regards. Not to be misunderstood or missed.I recommend paying, or getting a membership, because it can be better appreciated during regular hours, but first Fridays are free. I am grateful for that opportunity, too.The maintenance for such a place is high, its modern, well-staffed, polite, and well-maintained, but it is a small museum and must be appreciated for what it is. Also, there is that Viennese style coffee shop not to be missed. Explore!

A fantastic, well curated collection. A museum you can see in a few hours and feel like you havent missed anything.

Be ready to appear in absolutely exclusive atmosphere of artworks, with clear feeling of checking someones private collectionPhotos are not permitted

Love Central Park! No matter the time if the year it is always beautiful and never disappoints!!

Highly edited selection of Germanic and Austrian artwork. Most interesting was the deliciousness of the crepes. I cannot recall ever having a crepe that melted in my mouth quite so splendidly, nor can I recall feeling such an all-encompassing sensory experience. This is absolutely the only place to visit if youre on tight time constraints. Five stars.

The woman in gold and the other exhibits are definitely worth going. I didnt care for Kirchner. Poor guy.

Amazing intimate aesthetic experience. Great tour guide who was very personable, interactive and informative. Remember no pictures!

Its a beautiful place

So worth the visit to see the Klimnts Specifically Adele!!!

It was an excellent museum in a beautiful mansion. There was even Gestapo at the front door to make you feel like it was WW2

Love this museum. Fantastic exhibit on Weimar Republic, excellently curated + what a treat to be housed in this gorgeous townhouse. Must see!

Live in NY? Visiting NY? Do not miss Neue Galerie

Small gallerie in a wonderful house, with great work from Klimt and Schiele. They also have other temporary expositions.

Most of the museum was temporarily closed, despite this not being stated in any way I could see in their hardly usable (on mobile) website. I was eager to see the works by Schiele but all we could see was a small room with 7 or so works by Klimt. At least they werent charging an entrance fee, so we only wasted our time.

Love this place. Though small, the quality of work and set up is beautiful and thoughtful. First went for Klimt. Left with new deeper insights for other Austrian and German artist. Id get the museum pass if I lived in NY. Also you get the audio tour so you can listen and learn more about the history.

Lovely small museum with an outstanding collection of mainly Austrian early 20th century art.

Small gallery but amazing pieces. No photos allowed. Cafe line moves a lot faster than expected.

Have been wanting to visit for awhile and it was totally worth it. Amazing history. Great displays.

My favorite boutique museum featuring german expressionism. Enough art work for an afternoon stroll without the overwhelm from the Met.

Great collection from Austria and Germany. Finally get to see one of the most famous painting by Klimt. It was amazing. No cameras in the gallery.

Only a few pictures, but the most beautiful and important pictures of German/Austrian art.

Went on a Free Friday night after a short wait outside. Great collection of Klimt and similar artists.

Magnificent beautiful old mansion, were on the second floor you find the internationally famous woman in Gold by Gustav Klimt. Only open three or four days per week, they have many interesting fabulous paintings, mostly Austrian. Right next door on the ground for is the Magnificent Cafe sabarsky, where they actually play Mozart and have a live pianist playing Chopin and Schumann. The most superb pastries outside of Vienna.

Best gallery

Few really interesting paintings for a high price ticket. What Should cost entrance to Louvre or Uffizi compared to this??

Beautiful exhibition. Klimpt and Kirschner flows perfectly. 2 floors with 4 rooms on each. Does not take a whole day.

Best of the best!

Elegant art, museum and fabulously delicious restaurant, Cafe Sabarsky! Wonderful museum visit!!

Gustav Klimts work is just gorgeous. oh and I saw the movie after seeing this. such a sad story *no photography inside*

We had a great time here! The interiors are gorg, and the view across the street is the one and only Central Park! Dress up or dress down, it all works here. The service is spot on. The food is pricey, very well presented and pretty good. Unfortunately, my yummy soup was cold, but I was able to let that go. It’s an hour plus wait to wait in line, if you time it wrong. But you waiting in are in one of the best art museums in the world, the Mets across the street, you can’t pick a better the location. I think the people watching, in line, if you end up waiting is kind of priceless.

Love love love it! One of my favorite galleries, a must see!!!!

A very nice place, and a huge experience to see the Klimt paintings! A nice winter-cafe they have as well!

The 3rd floor exhibit was closed so ticket prices were half off. Ill review the rest of the gallery. The first floor has a delightful cafe and art piece and book store. The 2nd floor was lined with Wonderful pieces of Art Nouveau, Mostly framed works but some physical pieces as well. As with any gallery, there are pieces with what is considered today to have adult themes but this is the place to view it if there ever was one

Great collection and incredible architecture.

My favorite museum in New York. A wonderful exhibit on German and Austrian expressionism, new objectivity, or functional furniture crops up every couple months and mesmerizes. The audio app is very thorough and I always have a deeply educational and emotional experience at the Neue. The cafes are a tad expensive, but a kaffee and torte is a fun splurge.
