NYC Museum is an independent guide and is not affiliated with the museums listed. Exhibition dates, admission policies, and opening hours can change. Always verify current information with the museum before visiting.
I liked the version before this one. I liked that I could see all museums whose hours were currently open on one page. Now with the slick new version, I'm going to have to go page-by-page to each museum to see which one is open. It's now less convenient than the previous version
New York Museum Guide

This is a great application designed for those seeking out museums of all kinds. The app categorizes the museums by content so users can search by what they are interested in. The app displays art, history, culture, science and kids museums. Each museum provides a brief description of its history and purpose as well as its operation hours, price of admission and its location. At the bottom of each museum page there also is a map with a pin on the museum's location so if you need directions it is only a click away. For those unfamiliar or a bit more curious about a museum the top menu of each page has a Wikipedia link and an official site link. For those who are using an iPhone and want to quickly connect with the museum there is a phone call icon as well. Each page also allows you to bookmark the museum. The design of the application itself is sleek, modernistic with a colorful and easy to navigate interface. This app is highly recommended for those seeking culture in the state.
Excellent travel app
Rome Traveler
One of the singularly successful apps for tourist and visitor information about attractions. i especially like the display on the map of new York of museums and the ability to expand the description of the museum and operating hours. last weekend, we went in for some casual museum visits and it was indispensable. This contrast to so many other apps, sometimes for significant money, that only provide basic pictures and descriptions of attractions.
Lacking sharing features
Tdtd1970
Can't see a way to save info out of the app about a place you want to go. No link sharing, no messaging, no emailing, no launching maps, no tapping on something to create a calendar event or reminder. If you see something, looks like you need to copy the info out in longhand to get it out of the app, dramatically lowering the usefulness of it being digital, hard to tell other people about something interesting or get it on a list of places you want to go with relevant info.
Your favorite museum app is reborn. Brand new design featuring exploring tab with latest exhibitions from NYC museums.
