If you like to see your fine art in bite size...versus the Met...this is the place. Not only is the art work beautiful but the building is beautiful too, as David H says. It's a must see gem if you are visiting NYC and want a 1-2 hour time to relax and enjoy the wonderful art.

Its a small museum in Central Park
It has a nice collection of paintings and it's great for people that get tired or "lost" in big museums.
You can visit the place in a little more than 1 hour.
I recommend it

This museum has a nice permanent collection as well as different exhibitions. It is in an attractive setting and right by Central Park. It is easy to see it all in a reasonable amount of time.
