New York holds 38 works by Vincent van Gogh across 4 institutions, including Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and 2 other venues.
Van Gogh completed over 900 paintings in a decade, and seeing them in person reveals the extraordinary pace and emotional intensity of his working life. The impasto brushwork — paint applied in thick, urgent strokes — has a sculptural quality that transforms the experience of his most famous images.

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.
Brooklyn Museum
💎 Hidden GemNew York · 1 work 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.
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.
