54 works across 4 institutions
New York holds 54 works by Paul Cézanne across 4 institutions, including Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and 2 other venues.
Cézanne is often described as the father of modern art, and his work reveals why in person: the patient, methodical deconstruction of form and space that Cubism would later take further. His paintings look deceptively simple in reproduction but are extraordinarily complex in the original — the colour relationships are everything.

Brooklyn Museum
💎 Hidden GemNew York · 3 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 · 7 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.

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.
