It is great the hotel facilitates this. It was a very nice experience; we really enjoyed it!
The whole thing about this place is that it’s a vertical museum and it’s in a hotel (which is super cool and I would totally stay in). It’s totally free but you do have to be able to walk down several flights of stairs. Each floor is painted by a different artist and many of them were original five points artists. Definitely worth a stop!
What a fun experience! Take the elevators to the CloudM rooftop bar, enjoy a drink and then make your way down the art installation in the stairwell. The art is amazing and each artist brings his/her own style to each mural. At the end, there is a black chalkboard wall for you to leave your own impressions.
Trying to figure out how to visit the museum of street art ahead of time was needlessly confusing. So here is how you do it: go on Resy and search for MoSa by 5pointz. You can make a free reservation between 9am-5pm. If you want to visit after 5pm, make a free reservation on Resy for the cloudM rooftop bar. Either way check in at the front desk when you walk in to the hotel and security will give you access to get to the 20th floor. The bar was elegant without being pretentious and has great views. Whether you have a bar reservation or a MoSa reservation you just go to the stairs to see the 20 floors of street art. It’s a good rainy day activity. At the bottom there are black chalkboard walls and chalk to make your own mark. I would say all 20 floors will take anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes, depending on how much time you want to spend on each piece.
While normally it's only available for hotel guests at all hours or when the rooftop bar is open to the public, I got lucky outside of those times and someone in the elevator let me up to the top floor where you take the exit stairwell going downstairs and get to experience a very cool exhibition of a collage of street art from many different artists.
Fantastic idea and well executed in terms of the gallery itself. Probably needs more signage though. I only stumbled across it because I was starting a free floors down from the roof bar. Pretty cool idea to have a museum in a stairwell, can't say I've done that before 👍
An exhibit displaying a wealth of art by NYC-based street artists in the stairwell of the CitizenM hotel. It could use some more signage/information about the work/artists but it’s an enjoyable, quick visit.
