Page 1 of 5  New York City has such a rich diversity of museums, from the world renowned Met and MOMA, to the small but impressive Neue Galerie and Frick Collection, that it would take years to explore them all fully.
While they usually cost a pretty penny, New York’s museums are accessible at reduced rates if you do a bit of planning. The main attraction, the Metropolitan Museum, continues to have a “suggested admission” policy so pay what you can afford. Every other major museum, including the Whitney, MOMA and Guggenheim, will also have free or “pay what you wish” nights.
In addition to these well-known museums, New York has a few areas where art galleries are clustered and these you can generally walk into at any time free of charge. Hit West Chelsea if you want to be part of the new gallery scene as the majority of the galleries that made Soho hot in the 80s have moved uptown and many others have followed.
