When I was in high school one of my “artsy” friends brought me to the Whitney Museum of Art. The different art styles of most exhibitions at the Whitney evoke a strong atmosphere if you visit. There are sculptures, paintings, films and other abstract exhibitions from time to time. If you’re a fan of modern, contemporary art galleries, then the Whitney is an easy choice. If not, the Whitney also carries several galleries of paintings from different eras (ex. expressionism).  Currently, there are six exhibitions displayed, but I highly suggest visiting just for the Singular Visions exhibition, which is a series of 12 different art pieces that are meant to give different impressions using a wide array of art mediums and sizes.

Singular Visions has started on Dec 16, 2010 and is still ongoing
