I am an art historian from the EU and this museum was number 1 on my list of must-sees in New York. After waiting in an insufferably long queue for admissions (apparently it was lunchtime for the staff), I finally gained entry. There are insufficient elevators (badly in need of updating). The exhibition was arranged from the bottom up and visitors encouraged to walk up the ramp. This is certainly difficult for elderly persons such as myself. The exhibition was lack-luster. The architecture of the building is the main draw. Avoid paying admission and view the building from the main floor. There is no charge for that. After walking around, we needed some refreshment and discovered that there is not a restaurant. The only food available is in a standing room only area hidden in one of the galleries. We had to re-enter the museum and ask to go up in the elevator. The food offerings were less than palatable and over-priced.
