MUSEUMS OF NEW YORK
It would definitely be a different vibe if you had the place to yourself. So here are my top 10 picks. How many of them have you visited?
•
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
•
The Guggenheim
•
The Museum of Modern Art
•
The Whitney
•
The Museum of Natural History
•
The Hayden Planetarium
•
Ellis Island Museum
One of the advantages of living in the Big Apple is the surplus of excellent museums at our disposal.
•
New York Transit Museum
From classical to modern to natural there is a museum for everyone. It would be great if you could go when no one else was there. Some years back I visited Venice during Thanksgiving. Since Americans generally stay home with family and Europeans do not celebrate the holiday with temperatures in the forties it's completely empty. Meaning, no one is there and I mean no one. Kind of nice to walk down the narrow streets all alone and that’s what I would like when going to a New York City Museum.
