MUSEUMS IN NEW YORK CITY

ART / HISTORY / CHILDREN'S / OTHER / LISTINGS

Main entrance to the
Metropolitan Museum.

When it comes to art, history, science, fashion or kid-friendly exhibits, New York City truly is an embarassment of riches.

Spend a rainy day or quiet afternoon along Museum Mile on Fifth Avenue, for example, and realize it would take a virtual lifetime of afternoons to really appreciate it all.

And Museum Mile is just the beginning.

From the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor to reconstructed medieval Cloisters on Manhattan's northern reaches, the city offers fun learning adventures for kids of all ages.

In fact, as one returning visitor memorably put it, "You can see the whole world without ever leaving the island..."
