Jane August initiated a project to visit every museum in New York City, producing a video log of her experiences. Initially planned for three years, she has documented 136 museums and estimates approximately 64 remain. Her journey, aimed at safely experiencing culture post-COVID, evolved into a project shared with friends, gaining about 40,000 followers. She has grown to appreciate both large and small museums throughout the city, revealing favorites like Poster House, Tenement Museum, and other niche museums across the boroughs.
"At first, I started the project for myself to safely get out of my house and experience culture in the city again... I decided it would be a cool way to document this so my friends could keep up with my journey and maybe discover something new."
"Visiting its museums has sparked a new appreciation for New York City, particularly for those willing to explore smaller museums and those in the boroughs beyond Manhattan."
"I love Poster House. It's the first poster museum in the country, has great programming and is free on Fridays..."
"My favorites include the Tenement Museum in lower Manhattan and the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens..."
