Two floors of German and Austrian art in a 1914 mansion, built around the Klimt portrait known as the Woman in Gold, which took a lawsuit and a Supreme Court case to get here.

Cafe Sabarsky on the ground floor is a proper Viennese cafe with proper Viennese cake, and is worth the visit on its own.

What to know

Small, so an hour does it. The cafe queues at weekends; no under-12s in the galleries.

Going? Tell them MUSEENYC sent you. It's not a discount and there's nothing to redeem — we just want them to know where you heard it.
