This combo caters to both history and art enthusiasts. Explore Intrepid's past and then delve into the vibrant world of American art at the Whitney Museum.
Explore American military history
Step aboard the Intrepid aircraft carrier and go on a journey through American military and space exploration history. The hangar deck sets the stage, showcasing restored sections of the Intrepid's hull, forever marked by the kamikaze attacks of WWII. Interactive exhibits and multimedia presentations offer a poignant look at these historic battles, while veterans' accounts provide a human touch to the narrative. For a glimpse into the Cold War era, descend into the meticulously restored Growler submarine. Here, you'll gain a newfound appreciation for the resilience and adaptability of the sailors who served beneath the waves.
A journey through American contemporary art
Stepping off the elevator onto the 8th floor, you'll be greeted with views of High Line Park. As you descend through the Whitney, Edward Hopper's New York unfolds chronologically through sketches and illustrations. Descend through the museum, and each floor unveils a different facet of contemporary art. Video installations might immerse you in another world, while the sculptures demand your attention. The Whitney Biennial is a smorgasbord of artistic expression, featuring artists from marginalized communities who explore what art means in the 21st century. The museum's permanent collection offers a respite, where you can encounter works by American masters. Keep an eye out for a Georgia O'Keeffe flower or a Jackson Pollock drip painting.
