MoMA PS1
MoMA PS1 Review
A pioneer in the "alternative-space" movement, PS1 rose from the ruins of an abandoned school in 1976 as a sort of community arts center for the future. MoMA PS1 focuses on the work of currently active experimental and innovative artists. Long-term installations include work by Sol LeWitt and Pipilotti Rist. Every available corner of the enormous 100-room building is used; discover art not only in galleries but also on the rooftop, in the boiler room, and even in some bathrooms. On summer Saturdays from 3 to 9 pm outdoor dance parties attract a hip art-school crowd.

AListNYC, from NYC
The best part of P.S.1 is how they managed to take a neglected elementary school and turn it into a unique art space. (P.S. = Public School). The downside is that unless are you are huge fan of Contemporary Art, it might not be worth your time to visit if you are only in NYC for a few days.
