The only major New York museum devoted entirely to American art of the 20th and 21st centuries, tracing a century of creativity from Ashcan School realism to Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. Founded by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney in 1930 after other institutions rejected her modern art collection, the Renzo Piano-designed building sits at the foot of the High Line with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the Hudson River.

The Whitney turns ten downtown with a summer of dance parties, artist-led programs, and terrace sunsets overlooking the Hudson. It's a manageable museum where you can catch Amy Sherald's portraits and still have energy for the rooftop.

Fifty-six artists from across the US and beyond interrogate what "American" means through paintings, sculptures, video, and live performance.
