Cindy Sherman
Feb. 26-June 11, 2012
Cindy Sherman (American, b. 1954) is widely recognized as one of the most important and influential artists in contemporary art. Throughout her career, she has presented a sustained, eloquent, and provocative exploration of the construction of contemporary identity and the nature of representation, drawn from the unlimited supply of images from movies, TV, magazines, the Internet, and art history.

Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream
Feb. 15-August 13, 2012
In the summer of 2011, New York's Museum of Modern Art invited five teams of architects, planners, ecologists, engineers, landscape designers, and other specialists in the urban and suburban condition to develop proposals for housing that would open new routes through the mortgage-foreclosure crisis that continues to afflict the United States. Those proposals are presented in Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream, an exploration of new architectural possibilities for cities and suburbs in the aftermath of the recent foreclosure crisis.

Very good!

Mainly for the saving amount.
Excellent if you're planning to stay for more than a week
posted by Anliz on May-21-2012
you can save almost a 20% if you have the chance of use all coupons, if you´re planning to stay for more than a week is an excellent choice. But if you don't have more thana week think twice because you could keep half of the coupons without use.
Completísimo y al mejor precio !
posted by Magdalena Bruna on May-21-2012
Después de comparar las distintas opciones de pases, resolví que lo mejor era comprar New York CityPASS, y les diré por qué. Si bien, la oferta de atracciones es infinita, lo cierto es que en un corto periodo de tiempo sólo es posible visitar algunas de ellas, y los museos, por ejemplo, son tan grandes que nos puede llevar un día entero recorrerlos por completo. Además, es bueno dejar tiempo libre y de descanso entre museo y museo para poder disfrutarlos.

-
Which is higher: Top of the Rock Observation Deck or Empire State Building?
Rockefeller Center’s Top of the Rock observation deck is actually three floors atop the famous Midtown Manhattan skyscraper. The top floor is the 70th. New York CityPASS Empire State Building admission includes access to the legendary 86th floor observation deck.
The actual height is irrelevant as they offer incomparable New York experiences, each far different from the other. Both, by virtue of their commanding positions, have clear, unimpeded views. From the Empire State Building, one sees the Top of the Rock, built in a single year during the Great Depression as a symbol of American strength and resilience. Top of the Rock is the exclamation point on the Rockefeller’s dynastic hold on Manhattan real estate. It crowns a Midtown magnet for entertainment, shopping, dining and people watching.
-
Do I have to wait in the security line at the Empire State Building even with a CityPASS?
Yes. The Empire State Building isn’t just a New York attraction, it is a national icon and security of its facilities, tenants and guests is taken very seriously. So everyone goes through the airport-like security screening lines in advance of ascending to the observation level. Tip: Go early or go at dusk to avoid the longest lines in summer, on weekends and holidays.
-

The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) admission includes a planetarium show. However, there are a number of separately priced AMNH exhibits that are not included in New York CityPASS admission. We recommend for convenience and efficiency that you plan ahead – or take a moment in the lobby – to decide what you want to see, securing extra admissions before heading into the museum’s vast halls.
-
Is the Rose Center next to the American Museum of Natural History?
Rose Center for Earth and Space is part of the American Museum of Natural History complex of halls. The centerpiece of Rose Center is Hayden Planetarium, a giant sphere enclosed in the glass box of the center’s architecture.
