Make sure you go on a day that all the floors are open.
Javier CoboJanuary 7, 2012
Be prepared for pointless weirdness, barren walls and long lines on the weekend. Also, headaches from moving images and zero information from the limited staff present. The roof is nice.

Brilliant bookshop, love the architecture from SANAA architects too.

Nothing on show before mid-oct... Poor coffee room with rude waiter... U get charged $4 to see a few pieces by artist Chris Burden, when you can see much more for free in London. New Museum indeed??

Hit or miss but always interesting and new.

It has a lot of potential, but 2 of the 4 floors were occupied by an artist I hated, so I feel it was not worth the admission's price.
