Design students, historians and cobblers (ahem) may find this museum fascinating. It didn't fascinate me. I'm not a design student and certainly not a cobbler. I came here without big expectations but I still ended being bored.

I just could not…More »

I am a member of AGO and I love it. Does it pay to be a member? Yes. We, my niece and I, love the member's lounge - good place to wind down after a two hour visit. I do not know about you but there is something hypnotic about museums, I feel dizzy…More »

I am basing my star rating on the fact that I was a MEMBER. If you're only visiting the museum once, read other reviews as this is NOT applicable to you. I gotta be fair to the ROM.

I was a member and I didn't think it was worth the money.

Breath taking.

Customer experience is always excellent. Most staff are friendly (audio tour and check in people not so much). Five floors of spectacular exhibit circa 2011 backwards.

There's some sexiness to see works of Picasso, Monet, Matisse and…More »

This museum is so big that it is confusing. The guards were unfriendly and unhelpful. The crowd is noisy. It's a tourist attraction - that's what it is. A must see place in New York that has full of unreached cultural potential. Coming here is like…More »
