Jane August has embarked on a mission to visit all 170 museums in New York City, a journey sparked during the COVID-19 pandemic. After realizing she needed an outlet for cultural engagement, August utilized museums for exploration and learning when other activities were restricted. Documenting her experiences through social media and a podcast, she emphasizes the importance of visiting lesser-known museums alongside established institutions. Her project illustrates the joy and discovery inherent in exploring local culture, especially in a city as vibrant as New York.
I needed to get out of my house, and museums were one of the few things that were open and doing a really good job at social distancing.
It's really based on my schedule I scroll through and see which borough I haven't hit recently.
