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.

We have visited New York City a number of times and lived there for a couple of years so we are always looking for something new to see and do. If this is your first visit or have limited time in the city, you might want to visit this museum at another time. It is not necessarily a “”must-see;” however we did find the permanent exhibits and videos very interesting. The museum does have docent-led talks which we also found interesting (this is included in your ticket price). The museum is housed in a beautiful building in the upper east side; nearest subway station is about a 10-15 minute walk away.

We purchased tickets on Groupon, as thought the walk-up price was high. The museum was good, especially the video about the history of the city - it was genuinely fascinating and I would happily watch again!

As a city museum, it is very new and clean with decent presentation. Interactive and experiential activities were found. Very informative and not boring at all! I hope I had reserved more time there! Very recommended for people who are interested in knowing New York City deeply.
