"New York City is home to myriad must-visit museums, showcasing everything from incredible art to the city's fascinating history. While museum-going is recommended in any season, it's an especially good idea during the colder months since it's not weather-dependent, notes Fora travel advisor Nicole Canal. Most first-time visitors will want to include world-renowned museums like The Met and MoMA on their itinerary, but it's also worth seeking out underrated destinations such as The New York Historical and Queens County Farm Museum."
""Immigration is such a rich part of our history, especially in New York City," says Fora co-founder Henley Vazquez. "For an intimate and immersive lesson, head to the Lower East Side's Tenement Museum, where you'll see restored tenement apartments and gain insight into immigration, both past and present." The museum is spread across two historic tenement buildings with recreated 19th- and 20th-century apartments that tell the stories of the people who once lived here."
New York City contains a vast range of museums that showcase fine art, contemporary works, historical exhibits, and architectural collections. Museum visits suit any season and are particularly appealing in colder months because they are not weather-dependent. Travelers should prioritize iconic institutions such as The Met and MoMA while also exploring underrated sites like The New York Historical Society and Queens County Farm Museum. The Tenement Museum presents restored 19th- and 20th-century apartments that illuminate immigrant experiences. MoMA PS1, housed in a former public school in Long Island City, presents experimental contemporary art with a strong community focus and live events. The Met Cloisters specializes in medieval art and architecture, featuring the famed Unicorn Tapestries.
