                <description><![CDATA[The Neue Galerie shows early twentieth century German and Austrian art and design, including first-rate examples of paintings by Kokoschka, Schiele, Klimt (Adele Bloch-Bauer), and many other artists and designers. The setting is a 1914 mansion, just off Fifth Avenue, which opened in 2001.<br><br>The work is displayed as if it were in a private house, with furniture and fabrics appropriate to the pieces on show.  The glassware and ceramics  are also of high quality.  The Neue Galerie is a pleasure to visit and a tribute to its founders.  There is a comprehensive bookshop offering scholarly works as well as souvenirs.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The Whitney Museum was designed by Marcel Breuer and contains a large collection of American art from the nineteenth century to the present day. Sometimes however it shows special exhibitions and that can restrict the range of work on display. This is a pity since many visitors to New York will want to see a representative selection of work from the Whitney's entire collection to gain an insight into the nature and range of American art, rather than concentrating on the work of select figures.<br><br>However the Whitney is well worth visiting especially if, in future, it makes a more generous selection of its main collections available than was on show this season. There is also a good bookshop.]]></description>
