Enticed by the ethereal Yoshio Taniguchi redesign and free admission, New Yorkers waited hours before the MoMA officially reopened, rock concert style, to be among the first to dance around one of the most comprehensive collections of modern art around. An estimated 15,000 visitors passed through the doors, and Gothamist is enjoying the local papers' coverage, from rapturous glee to architectural criticism (it's like "white bread and mayonaise"), from bickering with guards to gripes about the cost ($20 is "two days worth of food").
Did you go to the MoMA on Saturday? What are your thoughts? Or are you going to wait for a quieter day? And one way to beat paying the $20 admission fee is to join as a member.

an even better way to beat paying the $20 is to check whether your company happens to be a corporate sponsor of the modern. you and up to 4 guests get in free with no waiting in line.
