Two NYC Museums for Fashion and Modern Art
Two of New York's major museums anchor a day of art and fashion: a Brooklyn landmark with Egyptian galleries and rotating fashion exhibitions, and a Midtown modern-art institution that stages design and fashion shows. Both cycle large exhibitions through the year. Check what is on before you go.
On Eastern Parkway, this Beaux-Arts landmark holds Egyptian galleries, contemporary art, and rotating fashion exhibitions across five floors. It fits a slow afternoon of looking. Open Wednesday to Sunday from 11:00 AM. Admission is pay-what-you-wish, with a suggested 20 dollars.
In Midtown on West 53rd Street, the Museum of Modern Art shows modern and contemporary work, with design and fashion exhibitions in bright, open galleries. It suits a focused museum visit. Confirm current hours and admission before a trip.
