About
Constantin Brancusi's rarely lent sculptures fill MoMA's entire sixth floor, rebuilt around his Paris studio at the impasse Ronsin.
Go for a rare chance to see sculptures from Paris's Atelier Brancusi in New York while Centre Pompidou is closed for renovations. The full sixth-floor presentation makes Brancusi's studio, not just individual sculptures, the subject by pairing rarely lent works with his photographs, films, hand-carved furniture, pedestals, tools and archives. Do not rush the pedestals and furniture, because the exhibition's point is how Brancusi blurred the line between an object and its setting.
What to expect
The full sixth floor is given over to the show, so plan a slow loop rather than a quick pass. Sculptures share space with the hand-carved bases and furniture Brancusi made for them, plus his own photographs and films of the studio. Expect low light in the archival sections and generous sightlines around the carvings themselves.
Good to know
- Take the E/M to Fifth Avenue-53rd Street, or the B/D/F/M to 47-50 Streets-Rockefeller Center.
- The sixth floor is the top gallery level — ride the elevator up and walk down through the collection.
- Weekday mornings are calmest; Midtown weekends bring the heaviest tourist traffic.
- Timed entry is required, so reserve online before you travel.
- All floors are step-free and wheelchair accessible, with assistive listening available for tours.
Going? Keep it.
