Reviews of Neue Galerie (Museum)

Patricia Yamada

Small, charming. Staff helpful

Mary Farmer

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

Elaine Stern

Wonderful small gallery of Austrian and Viennese art. Several Gustaf Klimt portraits. Lovely authenuc cafe right in the museum.

W M Oliveira

A lovely gallery at great location! The famous Woman in Gold (Klimt ) holds court in the permanent collection but there are other pieces from him equally interesting. It is a small gallery but worth to come! I missed the cafe but heard it is very good. I will definitely come back. Higly recommended!

Richard Kolarik

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

Paul Hammer

I loved seeing the Woman in Gold painting by Klimt in person. Not a place for young kids due to the nude paintings. Due to rules, don't bring any bottles of beverages. No matter what, you will be asked to throw it out.

Raymond Lyons

Great Art. Lady in Gold Brilliant. In all 5*. Lovely Building. Myra,Shelley & Raymond Lyons.

Penny Schwartz

Sweet gallery. And, my fav painting to survive the Holocaust "The Lady in Gold"

Nina Krauss

There is always an incredible special exhibition on, and the permanent collection and building itself are incredible.

Michael Greenberg

When I went there were two special exhibits, one on self-portraits (terrific) and another on Weimar art with many works by Grosz. The second, which only encompassed one room, was a bit of a disappointment. The visit is expensive ($22), but when there are two special exhibits, well worth it.

Haneen AlQunaibit

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!

Nevin Smith

Truly enlightening experience. The audio tour did an amazing job at providing context of paintings and artists.

Jonathan Epstein

Beautiful and tasteful. Expensive for a place where you can spend 90 minutes tops. Have to wait through the ticket line a second time, to return your audio guide and recover your driver's license.

Christopher Williams

Beautiful building with fantastic modern art. Really special gift / book store

Estrade Gayem

Nice place must visit!

Isabel Rosario

Small galery but worth visiting specially for the portrit of Adele Bauer

Steff Forbes

It only had one section open when we went but it was a great experience. All around the staff was friendly and informative. They have some wonderful Klimt paintings. I am hoping to come back the next time I am in NYC and truly see the whole museum.

Valdemar L. D.

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

MAR ALMEIDA

One of the greatest cultural experiences I have ever had. Magnificent pieces of art, from the "Austrian Monalisa" to many of Egon Schiele's and Oskar Kokoshka's works inside a beautiful place. I just hope they include magnets in their store one day. No pictures allowed by the way, but I think that's what makes it the experience truly special.

Rebecca S

No empty bottles may enter. They wanted me to throw away my empty water bottle so I left. Stupid.

Jeremiah Gonzalez

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

Amalia Anderson

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

Yue Seen Yeh

Elegant and dignified.

Suchada Connors

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.

Edward Lee

Beautiful decor. Cafe Sabarsky is also worth it

Brian Overman

Breathtaking. Half of the galleries are temporarily closed. Very extensive bookstore in what appears to be the original library for the mansion.

Tanya Hassell

Great to see Woman in Gold. 3rd floor closed for installation which was bad planning for a holiday week when they would have lots of visitors.

Patricio Javier Pagani

The main exhibition was closed, but Klimt is wonderful. Five stars and a few more

Andrew Garrison

Beautiful but make sure you go when all exhibits are open.

Kyuwon Lee

It's 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.

Richard Davis

Great lunch at pricey dining room, a lovely exhibit, $16 for seniors, plus they checked my luggage, something the Met Museum won't.

S.I. Noebels

Fabulous building and designed to show how the art was shown when in private homes.

Monica Kang

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. I'd 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.

Vicky Musso

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 better A NY must

Rachel Filipov

If you like Klimt or art in general, you must go. It is small and expensive but worthy.

S Yeung

Great gallery, small collection but great pieces. Definitely a must see if you're into Klimt or Schiele. Get the audio guide when you buy a ticket, it's included in your ticket price. They also check luggage which most museums and galleries don't do anymore so it's a nice stop before a flight.

Valerie Loving

Beautiful building, lovely cafe, wonderful exhibits!

Dan Swartz

The Neue Galerie is located allow Fifth Ave in New York City's 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 institution's 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.

02bwiser

Beautiful place to display this specific period of art and decoration. The only downside is the lighting which is harsh for viewing some of the artwork. The tea shop is well worth the stop.

Courtnei Taylor

When i went, most of the halls were closed due to exhibit installation. However they graciously informed me of when things were opening back up again! Staff was 100 percent friendly and so willing to answer questions!

Yolanda Hernandez Santa Cruz

Beautiful selection of artworks.

Christian Stahl

The woman in gold and the other exhibits are definitely worth going. I didn't care for Kirchner. Poor guy.

Lisa Kim

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

Victoria Simmons

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 you're on tight time constraints. Five stars.

Emily Sanborn

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.

Keith Kirkland

A small museum that packs a punch. We came to see the Klimt exhibit but really enjoyed the other exhibitions. An excellent stop.

Lisa Stuhr

Wonderful exhibits

Kerri Tollinger

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.

Sandy Goldman

Wonderful collection. Very interesting gallery

Nils Paellmann

Still one of the greatest small museums in New York. Fantastic collection of Klimt and Schiele and always fascinating exhibits such as the current very poignant Ernst Ludwig Kirchner show. And while you are at Neue Galerie have a fabulous Linzer tart and Wiener Melange at Cafe Fledermaus. Same menu as upstairs but no lines to get in.

Sean Q

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.

Kairui Sun

Great art collection of works by Klimt and Schiele among others

Eugene J Holt

German & Austrian art between the world wars just north of the Met. Museum. A tiny gem always with guest art, two cafes, specialized store, & gorgeous architectural details. Crowded, tight security with repatriated "Lady in Gold". Lecture at 3 PM. Go.

Alejandro Forero Cuervo

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 weren't charging an entrance fee, so we only wasted our time.

Luis Araujo

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

marr georgilea

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

Darryl George

The one star is for the amazing Gustav Klimt "Woman in Gold" painting. However, what a pity that is housed in a pretentious, small, uncomfortable, stifling and hot museum with its rude and repulsive staff and guards who continually enforce the multitude of unpublished rules, act in an exceptionally prejudiced manner and whose behavior is in tribute to the same group who appropriated the Klimt painting! My advise to anyone who goes to this museum: 1) Hide your phone 2) Check your coat 3) Make sure you are over 12 and dressed well 4) Don't go for recreation or cultural reasons 5) Don't talk 6) Don't breathe 7) Don't be human

nanshe inanna

I’m amazed by the building and the artwork from a select period and region. It was a pleasure visiting the Neue Galerie without being overwhelmed and exhausted. It has a beautiful cafe where I wanted to explore after the visit but it was relatively expensive.

Yewon Kim

Loved the pieces of Klimt!

Allen J. Barkin

The lady in gold and so much more

Gerald Siciliano

Notable German and Austrian painting, sculpture and objects presented in an elegant UES townhouse.

Michael G

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.

Laura Ruiz

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

Liliana Romascanu

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!

Brian Lane

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.

Sridhar Chilimuri

It is a small gallery with limited displays - certainly one of a kind pieces - no photography allowed - unfriendly staff - great restaurant in the building which is the reason to visit.

RMR Consulting

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!!

Joe Chen

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 there's 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

Zaki Sadiqi

Unfortunately only one of the exhibits was open, however I did enjoy the pieces and artwork. But security is strict and do not even let you carry water.

Alexander Schumer

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.

Alexandra Stephens

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.

Nina Has

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.

Don Mathewson

Only one gallery open but it's pay what you can/want...I got in for$5... Normal admission is$25

Alexander Prus

The Klimt was terrific... the "Austrian" cafe... less so. The food wasn't bad but, for the very high prices, I expected a lot more.

Joe Scsepko

Great reviews

Matthew Konig

They were very strict and I was disappointed that the third floor wasn't open, otherwise good

Jane Levine

Fabulous exhibit right now of portraiture, focusing on 20th century German artists. Get the audio guide; it comes with the admission price (which is steep, unless you are a senior or student).

Joel Hurliman

Very nice collection of German and Austrian art that was deemed degenerate at one time in history.

Ram Vish

Woov..Best coffee & Sachertorte..

Alan Gary

I went to see the Klimt exhibit. They wouldn't 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

Andy Ng

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, you'll get to enjoy the many Post-Impressionist works in the four-storey gallery building.

Safiye Cagar

Small gallery with wonderful Austrian painter's collection. Well worth a visit.

Johann Webersberger

If you like 20th century austrian/german art, you have to go there when you are in NYC

Frederick Weitze

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

amy chlumsky-skelton

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.

Ron G.L.

Expensive to see just one painting by Climpt. . . "Woman In Gold", but totally worth it.

Mike McSherry

The lady in gold painting. Small important gallery

Alexander Genkin

A small gallery where exhibitions are always very thoughtful. A word of caution: you'll have to dump your water bottle at the entrance.

임유진

I loved the museum because there were Klimt's artwork. However, the museum only provides one stair with three rooms. It's kinda small.

Michelle Fraser

Great place I loved my time there.

Michael B

Our favorite museum in the city. A jewel of a building, superlative exhibits expertly staged. Membership more expensive than most and worth every penny.

Renee Kim

Worthwhile to visit if you like Klimt.

Ben Hills-Jones

Very disappointing. Only half Gallery open. Had to throw my water away to enter. Why? Rude security guard. Did whole gallery in 15 minutes!

Phyllis Reed

This is a lovely place. Nice dining, good food, great service, nice atmosphere!

Mike MIke

First visit, nice to learn part of the human race.

Laleh Pedramrad

One of the my favorite museum in NYC.

Joe Wread

Very nice, interesting and small. Takes no me than an hour to get through.

Kenneth Mopper

The small but beautiful gallery focusing on Austrian and German early 1900s art. Klimts golden woman is exquisite.

Moline Dastrup

The Klimpt room is just spectacular, I highly recommend visiting. There is also a little smoothie truck outside that is nice to visit before going in!

David Jaquess

Small museum with stellar collection. Nicely curated with audio tour, but the plaquards had enough info for us. Line to get in at 11:30 on Saturday, but it moved quickly. Great place to see Schiele in addition to Klimt.

Autumn Howard

Expensive, rude, and altogether not really worth it. One of the places I was most excited to see in Manhattan, and was left wholly underwhelmed. Collection is largely Klimt, and other than the portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer (woman in gold), nothing is very interesting. The architecture and the interior of the building itself is more interesting. The doormen are rude, and I can only imagine the impression this gives visitors from other countries.

Sean Smith

A wonderful place to spend an afternoon. I began with brunch in the attached cafe and had a great meal. Then moved on to the curated collection. Although smaller than the other museums within the area, the Neue Galerie feels special and intimate. Beautiful pieces to discover.

Ami Benny

Nice space great art. The self portrait show was well curated.

Kathleen Longo

Great museum.

Roy Williams

Great gallery. Between exhibitions they allow donations for admission price instead of the full price of $22!!!! What a great deal!!! Amazing gallery!

Ana Doroshka

Must see because of portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I!!!!!

sandra yeadon

Loved it got to see lady in Gold WOW

leo mayroofer

Very nice place. The restaurant reAlly looks like an Austrian coffee house. But very overpriced. If the portions weren't for three year olds , I'd say it's expensive but worth it. Plus: I am Austrian. In Austria "Spätzle" don't even exist, it's from Southwest Germany (BW). Lil ridiculous to be an "Austrian kitchen" serving Spätzle...

Gail Mroz

First time here. Fantastic art and friendly staff.

Berlin xxx

NO PHOTO PLZ! (And for that hefty admission fee too...) The lighting for the paintings is quite bad too

Lisa Blaustein

This is a lovely museum. It is a nice quiet alternative to the chaos that is the Met. The Frederick Klimt paintings, especially The Woman in Gold are worth the visit. There are two cafes. They both have the same menu.at the same price with authentic Viennese options. The upstairs cafe is the nicer place as it has beautiful wood paneling and was probably once the family's drawing room.

Cindy Jimenez

I came for Klimt's portrait of Adele, but I also ended up gaining a better appreciation for Egon Shielle.

David Graham

This museum houses the famous Klimpt painting named - "Woman in Gold" There is too much hype at the museum over that wonderful painting returned to the original owner's heirs. Although most museums around the world now allow cell phone photos of paintings, at Neue Galerie taking photos is forbidden. Another thing, commercial reproductions of the original painting found in stores have been highly doctored and photo shopped. It is a mild let down to see the original painting after repeatedly seeing so many commercial reproductions. The original is a masterpiece despite it not having the same contrast found in commercial reproductions.

Andres Toussaint

Great small gallery, I love that I get to see Adele whenever I want. My only quip is that every time I visit the third floor is closed.

Claire, H.Y Yang

small but beautiful place

EI OI

The museum size is not big compared with other Gallery but the content is really really nice and the staffs also very polite if you didn't visit this place you have to vist

Tony Maciejowski

Largest collection of Gustav Klimt paintings.

Emanuela Cozzi

today was opened only one part of the gallery, the one with all the klimt paint. gorgeous!

Lingchun Liu

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

Marcia Rogal

My favorite place in Manhattan to escape to Vienna.

Rosemary Del Orbe

Lovely museum with a European style Café/restaurant. The Chocolate rum cake with espresso topped with whipped cream was a delight!

Jan Yablow

One of the most beautiful museums in New York. Not only a fine permanent collection, art including Treasures from Austria, Germany and other parts of Europe, just a wonderful place to visit, right near other Uptown, east side museums. Also a really terrific restaurant with fine desserts and beverages. Very romantic to dine in their Restaurant as well.

Pamela Gough

I recently visited the Neue Galerie as a weary tourist and it didn’t meet my expectations for a welcoming visitor experience. My partner was not allowed to bring his water bottle in - not even if he checked at the coat check before entering. He courteously left it outside without fuss but it was gone when we went to retrieve it. I have visited many museums and have never been turned away because of a water bottle policy. Children under 12 are not allowed, apparently because the items on exhibit are so fragile, yet most items not hung on walls were displayed in cases quite securely and there were guards in each room monitoring visitor behaviour. The cafe in the basement was poorly lit, spartan in appearance, had blinds drawn and tables were too low for a comfortable meal. Yet the prices were as high as the main level restaurant. All in all this small museum exuded an unwelcoming lack of interest in its visitors that offset its well presented exhibits.

Murilo Silva

They have the Klimt’s masterpiece. Only that is enough to deserve a visit. But there are more beautiful things to see

Michael Bent

If you ever come between exhibitions and it's pay as you wish, do NOT pay. When I went there was only one gallery open with maybe 6 pieces. Over all, the mansion and pieces are gorgeous and impeccably maintained. I have to commend them for that. But how we were treated, welcomed, and accomodated made us feel like we didn't belong and were a burden. I also have to comment on the number of rules and regulations of this gallery. I understand it is privately owned and they intend on presentation of these master pieces while allowing the public to experience them, which I commend. But the security and number of rules they enforce on guests is unwelcoming, inhospitable, and generally ludicrous. As an architect and interior designer, I'm very interested in seeing the interiors of these old New York mansions. Most museums and galleries would accommodate pictures of the space but not the art, this is not the case here. No filled water bottles, understandable, but not allowing empty containers or exceptions for people who carry water for medical reasons is absurd. Jackets must be worn, not held. No photos. Only one bag permitted, with size limitations. My mother and I spent more time being hassled by the half dozen security guards for one room than we spent enjoying the art. You'd think they would be more accomdating for keeping water for medical reasons knowing if anyone saw me reach in my bag for a sip I'd be tackled. But no, they are not. I pride myself on being a good guest, but these hosts were ungracious to say the least.

Robert Vertullo

Lovely museum that takes the rules a bit too seriously. Wear your coat or check it! No photos! No talking on your phone! I thought I was back in grade school. Gustave Klimt's "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer" is itself worth the time spent here, but there is plenty more, particularly the Marc/Macke collection. You will notice I couldn't add any photos to the review.

James Scurlock

A glimpse of how the robber barons lived plus the best desserts in Manhattan!

Tina t

Disgusting experience not because of the museum itself but because their security stuff behaves themselves as as if they are working in jail and people who come there just prisoners. I have experienced that few times before, but today it was an apogee when I went to the free Friday event and I was standing in line on the street, the security guy told me that I cannot move up the line until HE permits me to do so l!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????? This is unspeakable, outrageous. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CULTURE, ART, BEAUTY. Instead the most ugly experience ever!!!!!!

Melissa Kiewiet

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.

Vivianne Wright

I love this place

Scarlett K

You can enter with free donation system till 3rd oct 2018 since only 2 rooms are opened preparing the new events. But most works of Klimt are visible. And Egon Shille's sketches as well. Water bottle is not allowed. Not even empty one. I loved the garden painting more than the popular gold portrait which you can see on the brochure. I would like to hang it in my room.

Lora Aroyo

It is a great little museum. Beautiful art, and typically nice special exhibitions. It gets quite crowded usually when there is a special exhibition and especially on the days when it is free the line could be devastating long. You have to also try the cafe Sabarski there - it has the most delicious deserts in a very authentic Vienna style

David Foreman

Interesting gallery. Went to see their masterpiece.

Jane Reiss

Outstanding permanent collection & special exhibition! Dessert at Cafe Sabarsky was amazing!

jcvpve

In no museum that I ever visited have I experienced that kids were refused. The neue Galerie apparently only cares about displaying their wares to adults. How did adults learn to appreciate art? By being exposed to it as kids.

Kathleen Chebly

The Museum is beautiful but the lighting of the Klimt not very good.

Philip Koch

Magnificent beautiful old mansion, we're 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.

Nilson Gabas, Jr.

Small and cozy gallery. Klimt's Portrait of Adele Bauer I is the masterpiece to be seen here, but it always has great exhibits. Absolutely recommended.

edmowl

Such beautiful and important artworks complemented by wonderful food in the cafe

Met Fan since 1968

I ate at the cafe here. Stop by for cake and coffee.

Ethan Wingfield

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, it's worth stopping by if you're museum hopping.

Mark Craig

Only museum I've been into where photos were not allowed. Docents watch you like a hawk. Not thrilled with this place.

Akiko Saito

Great collection, customer service could be better

Randall Stempler

A fabulous collection of Austrian and German Art with constantly changing special exhibitions. The current exhibition (Ernst Ludwig Kirchner) is not to be missed. The permanent collection has some extraordinary art, including The permanent collection includes Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, Alfred Kubin, and Richard Gerstl, among others. Do not miss the extraordinary Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, which is also one of the most valuable paintings in the world. The building itself is classical and beautiful. The museum also has some amazing food at Café Sabarsky and Café Fledermaus under the direction of Michelin-star chef Kurt Gutenbrunner. It may be a small museum, but it is a gem.

sara stanford

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

Andrew Godefroy

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

Jeff Streit

A small but quality museum that's less crowded than many more well known locations. Located in a small town house the location itself is unique. It's easy to miss with only a small street level sign. Security is a bit heavy and no photography is allowed but the collection has some great works by Klimt and a small section on furniture and design. The price is a little high for it's size considering you can also see many other huge museums for ~$25. It's worth a visit though if you are in the area.

Jacquelyn Hellrung

What gem that I stumbled upon! Saw the Lady in Gold painting, which is breathtaking! A must see!
