104 works across 4 institutions
New York holds 104 works by Edgar Degas across 4 institutions, including Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, and 2 other venues.
Degas was primarily a draughtsman, and the extraordinary line beneath his dancers and racehorses becomes visible only in the original work. His pastels are particularly striking in person, with a chalky luminosity that no printed reproduction can replicate.

Brooklyn Museum
💎 Hidden GemNew York · 7 works on display
The Brooklyn Museum is the second-largest art museum in New York, with encyclopaedic collections from ancient Egypt to contemporary art. Less crowded than the Metropolitan and worth the short subway ride from Manhattan.
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
New York · 3 works on display
The Guggenheim Museum is as much architecture as institution — Frank Lloyd Wright's spiralling rotunda is one of the great buildings of the 20th century, and the collection of modern and contemporary art is among the finest in the world.
Museum of Modern Art
New York · 1 work on display
MoMA holds the world's finest collection of modern and contemporary art — Picasso, Matisse, Pollock, Warhol, Rothko — in a purpose-designed building in Midtown. The permanent collection galleries are extraordinary even without a temporary exhibition.
Planning your visit to New York
New York's major museums are spread across Manhattan — the Metropolitan Museum and Guggenheim are on the Upper East Side (4/5/6 subway), while MoMA is in Midtown and the Whitney is in the Meatpacking District. The Metropolitan suggests a donation rather than charging a fixed fee for New York State residents; out-of-state visitors pay the listed price. Allow a full day for the Met; the other collections are more manageable in a half-day.
