About the Museum of Modern Art

Among the museum’s most celebrated holdings are masterpieces by Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Claude Monet, and Henri Matisse. Iconic works such as Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, and Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans are just a few of the treasures awaiting visitors. The museum also hosts rotating special exhibitions that showcase emerging artists and thematic explorations of contemporary culture.
About Edge at Hudson Yards
Edge is the highest outdoor observation deck in the Western Hemisphere, perched on the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards on Manhattan’s far west side. The triangular platform juts out from the building, suspended 1,131 feet above the ground, and offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the city skyline, the Hudson River, New Jersey, and beyond.
The deck features a glass floor that lets you look straight down to the street below and angled glass walls that lean outward, creating the sensation of floating in midair. On clear days, visibility extends for more than 80 miles. Edge also offers a thrilling outdoor experience where you can feel the wind and take in the unobstructed views without any barriers between you and the skyline.
