Contemporary art institution with experimental exhibitions and events
"MoMA PS1 in Long Island City is recommended as a day-trip destination for contemporary art lovers outside Manhattan." - CNT Editors
"Housed in a striking Renaissance Revival former public school in Long Island City, this sister institution to MoMA is no ordinary art museum. All manner of cutting-edge contemporary art shows here—with work by James Turrell and Ai Weiwei among many others—and the people-watching can be as good as the art, as creative types come to find inspiration." - Charlie Hobbs, Andrea Whittle
"PS1 has been home to some of the world’s best contemporary art since the mid-seventies. The museum offers a wide range of exhibitions including painting, sculpture, installations and performance. In the summer, be sure to catch Warm Ups, an outdoor music series that takes place in the courtyard. But perhaps the most fascinating aspect of PS1 is the building itself, which retains the character of its past. As you walk the halls to discover exhibits behind closed doors, it can even feel haunted!" - MSLK
"A restaurant by M. Wells hospitality located in the Museum of Modern Art PS1, known for its unique culinary offerings and artistic setting. Now closed." - Emma Orlow
"Ceremonies Out of the Air: Ralph Lemon features over 60 pieces from the artist's oeuvre, including Rant Redux."
