German & Austrian art, Klimt's "Woman in Gold," Cafe Sabarsky
"At the Neue Galerie I saw German Masterworks from the period 1890 to 1940 (on view through May 4, 2026), with works that highlight developments from Brücke and Blaue Reiter artists such as Vasily Kandinsky and August Macke, and nearly 40 student-year works by Erich Heckel on display through January." - Charlie Hobbs
"I enjoy the Neue Galerie for its Austrian and German art from the early 20th century, and I often stop by Café Sabarsky inside for Viennese pastries and a pot of tea." - Hannah Towey
"A jewel-box museum in a 1914 Beaux-Arts mansion, this entire space is dedicated to 19th-century German and Austrian art and design across paintings, furniture, sculpture, photography, and manuscripts. The star is Gustav Klimt’s mesmerizing Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907), acquired in 2006 for $135 million, while rotating third-level exhibits illuminate lesser-known corners of European art from the period; afterward, Café Sabarsky ranks among the city’s finer museum restaurants—order a dry riesling with schnitzel and a kaiser mélange with whichever cake suits your fancy." - Charlie Hobbs, Andrea Whittle
"I swung around the corner to Neue Galerie on East 86th, where 19th-century German and Austrian art hang in the 1914-constructed mansion of industrialist William Starr Miller, a building designed by Carrère & Hastings that lends the collection a residential intimacy." - Charlie Hobbs
"Really a gem, with a spectacular collection of Klimt as a highlight and such interesting temporary exhibitions. My favorite was their exhibition of Dagobert Peche's world—the walls were covered in his wallpaper, and they featured his designs in clothing, jewelry, metal objects, cabinets and mirrors, plus his artwork; he was a true genius of the Wiener Werkstätte." - The MICHELIN Guide
