Museum of the City of New York

When you tell people you plan a visit to the Museum of the City of New York, they usually have a positive response.

So [who can resist] a chance to enjoy tea [and crumpets?] with a curator …

From my blog, All the Best

There will be a Curator’s Cup on January 22nd with Lilly Tuttle. (It’s sold out.)

One of the exhibits she will discuss is called Art Deco City, 1920s New York, shown off in postcards. (Closes Feb 17.)

The Stettheimer Dollhouse has long been a highlight at MCNY. It is the creation of one of the Stettheimer sisters, which showcases a post- WW1 New York and is a memento of their Tarrytown estate, Andre Brook.

MCNY is at the top of Museum Mile. Come visit.

It’s a quiet, delightful destination.

Don’t take just my word for it. Phyllis McGinley, 1961 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, found it endearing.

The poem, Ode to an Institution, was published in The New Yorker in 1953. (The link takes you to MCNY’s Instagram where I recommend you read it! It’s artful and artless.)
