This immense former public school in Queens is an affiliate of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). The hallways and classrooms of this turn-of-the-century Romanesque revival building contain art installations by a host of contemporary artists. There's also a large sculpture garden outside. Some installations are extremely successful, others are merely puzzling, and some are so subtle you're not sure whether you're looking at an idiosyncrasy of the building or a work of art. There are more traditional galleries with semipermanent and temporary exhibits. Open Thursday-Monday noon-6 pm. Suggested donation US$5 adults, US$2 seniors and students, free for MoMA ticket holders within 30 days. 22-25 Jackson Ave. at 46th Avenue (subway line E or V to 23rd Street-Ely Avenue; 7 to 45th Road-Court House Square; G to 21st Street-Van Alstyne), Long Island City, Queens, New York City.
