There are also several special exhibitions on view at any one time and the short documentary Timescapes, a multimedia historical storytelling, bringing viewers on a 28 minute journey through 400 years of history. The film runs every 40 minutes and headsets are available in French, Mandarin, and Spanish.

Lots of reading and interactive presentations. If you like to know history of NY in detail then go here.

We thought this place was worth a visit while in NY. I would say it was well organised, and informative, but a little lacking in some areas, and maybe more fun for kids would be ideal, but overall very good. Thanks

Take a tour with Judy. Superb. Almost a performance. Museum is wonderful. Very thorough overview of the City’s history.
