Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised, but it seems there are a large number of New York City museum shows worth getting out to see right now. In the wake of all the fuss and action of Armory Fair week, a number of hot shows have gained attention both due to exhibiting the most impressive art names and through presenting surprisingly exciting exhibitions. Usually there are a couple museum shows here or there that look promising, but at this point in time it seems every major museum is boasting something important.
Maybe it’s just that the sun is shining and there is the lingering promise of warmer weather that makes us want to leave the apartment, but it definitely helps that there are so many museum shows to go see. Here’s a list of the best shows we think are worth your valuable time:
