Whitney Museum of American Art

The Whitney Museum of American Art is a veritable temple to soaking up contemporary American art, whether it's its rich collection or architecture.

Located in the heart of Manhattan, the Whitney Museum of American Art is a must-see in New York. It is a museum that celebrates American art between the 20th and 21st centuries. You can see more than 21,000 works, including about 3,000 paintings by Edward Hopper. Considered one of the representatives of American realism, he painted the daily life of the middle classes. Marsden Hartley, Max Weber and Georgia O'Keeffe also left their mark on the Whitney Museum of American Art. Moreover, it is possible to contemplate their works in some temporary exhibitions. This site is not only a place of exhibition but also attracts by its architecture. With its asymmetrical shape, this building is directly inspired by brutalism.
