Current exhibits at the Museum of the City of New York

Among NYC’s many museums (art and otherwise), the Museum of the City of New York (MCNY) stands out by chronicling the past and present of NYC and its inhabitants through exhibitions that often draw upon a unique collection of over 1.5 million items—a cache that includes historical photos, costumes, decorative objects and furniture, antique toys and more. Located across from Central Park’s northern reaches, MCNY offers visitors and natives alike a unique glimpse into Gotham's storied history through fascinating offerings like the ones you’ll find in our guide to the current exhibits at the Museum of the City of New York.
