'not liking new york art museum?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'where virtual reality experienced' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'experienced' could be 'met' (meeting is a kind of experiencing) and 'met' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'averse' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
