Situated in a colonial Georgian-style mansion, this local museum focuses solely on New York City’s past, present and future. Don’t miss the 22-minute film Timescapes (on the 2nd floor), which charts NYC’s growth from tiny native trading post to burgeoning metropolis.
One of the museum’s star attractions is the 12-room mansion dollhouse fabricated by Carrie Stettheimer over 25 years at the turn of the 20th century – replete with tiny art works (including miniatures of pieces by Marcel Duchamp and Gaston Lachaise).
