  • Of the two galleries, the original shows large-scale works, while the second specializes in new work.

  • It would take weeks to take in all the treasures of this mammoth, ever-changing museum that includes a collection of more than 3,000 European paintings. The Greek, Roman, Cypriot, and Asian halls have had striking new renovations, and the Howard Gilman Photography Gallery is a growing presence.

  • The library reopened in 2006 after a major expansion to hold this private collection of rare books, prints, and manuscripts.

  • This palazzo was designed in 1902 to hold the collection of billionaire J. Pierpont Morgan, an extraordinary assemblage of rare manuscripts, books, and prints, and galleries with changing exhibits. His original opulent study and library are highlights.

  • Changing exhibits covering the city’s architecture and neighborhoods.

  • The permanent collection, which dates from 1900, includes 2000 craft exhibits.

  • Reopened in 2005 following a massive renovation program, the new building is worthy of this outstanding collection.

  • Following a $425 million expansion program, MoMA reopened in 2004. The renovation marked the museum’s 75th anniversary and almost doubled the capacity of the original building. MoMA has one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of modern art, including works by Picasso, Van Gogh, and Warhol.

  • Watch your favorites from over 60,000 radio and TV programs, plus special exhibits and classic screenings.

  • New York’s history is illustrated with photographs, paintings, costumes, toys, silver, period rooms, and a large collection of Currier & Ives handcolored lithographs. There is also an exhibition that celebrates the work of Broadway theater composer Richard Rogers.
