New Yorker's Love Their Museums With this travel book, you'll visit 111 museums across the five boroughs Here is your personal museum concierge, a treasure map to the secret corners of the iconic museums, and a field guide to the kinds of museums you never dreamed existed. In addition to the classic institutions, you will find hidden exhibitions out there and tiny, one-room galleries filled with art, objects, and ideas. These are the places, big and small, that contain the repositories for our shared humanity. You’ll go inside a gallery filled with outsider art and discover the micro museum tucked in an alleyway. From the Noguchi Museum to Neue Galerie; fashion and food; miniatures, math, and modern art, New York City’s museum culture is vast, vibrant, and original. Museums both large and small connect us to the bigger world around us. This museum guide of curated treasures includes all the places New Yorkers think they know but author Wendy Lubovich takes a different approach to familiar sites and introduces the hidden gems. She focuses on some of lesser-known locations, making the city’s smaller museums, and their quirky collections come to life. From celebrated singular persons, to arts, hobbies, labors, and history. From the Frick to Folk Art, New York City has arguably the richest museum culture in the world. 101 Spring Street - Order as art in life and work American Folk Art Museum - The art of everyday life American Museum of Natural History - Where butterflies are free Americas Society - Art in a surreptitious mansion Asia Society - Where the exotic and cutting edge collide Bronx Museum of the Arts - An urban experience Children’s Museum of Manhattan - Where play has a purpose Coney Island Museum - A world of fun under the sun A unique museum guide for everyone, from lifelong New Yorkers to visitors looking for adventures in The Big Apple. 9/11 Tribute Museum - Stories of survival and recovery In 2006, the 9/11 Families Association established the 9/11 Tribute Museum to tell the stories of that day through exhibits and walking tours led by volunteers, who share their first-hand experiences. Explorers Club - Lions and tigers and bears – oh my! Founded in 1904, this private club is where the world’s top explorers have gathered to trade tales. You'll feel that sense of discovery in the sumptuous surroundings, where artifacts of adventure are everywhere. Fraunces Tavern Museum - A toast to independence Fraunces Tavern was once the fashionable place for polite gentlemen to dine. And on Evacuation Day in 1783, when British soldiers finally left America, it was in this windowed Long Room that General George Washington bade farewell to his officers. What happened here laid the groundwork for the modern-day Financial District and closed the book on the Revolutionary War. Museum of Jewish Heritage - A living memorial to the Holocaust Located across the Hudson River from Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, the museum’s granite building makes the first impression – a six-sided shape reminiscent of the six-pointed Star of David. It’s the perfect framework to highlight the rich tapestry of Jewish life before, during, and after the Holocaust. It is New York’s uniquely global responsibility never to forget.
