Garibaldi Meucci Museum — Attraction in New York

I checked out this museum while chilling in Staten Island for the day. It was a very interesting an educational experience. Admission was $8 which was a bit high but I supported the museum since I didn't know when and if I would return to the area. We received a brief lecture on the history of the museum by the museum Director who very friendly and cool. We also watched a small documentary before actually touring the museum.

The controversy over whether Antonio Meucci invented of the telephone and didn't get his due credit will always be up for debate. It was informative and did raise a lot of questions about Meucci actual contributions. Giuseppe Garibaldi was an Italian general and politician and nationalist who played a large role in the history of Italy.

On a prior visit I attended a lecture on the women painters Artemisia Gentileschi and Elisabetta Sirani by Dr. Snjezana Smodlaka on the occasion of women's month which was excellent. On today's visit we got a nice lecture on the remarkable lifes of Antonio Meucci and Giuseppe Garibaldi. In the back of the property you can still see the cauldron which was used by Meucci and Garibaldi to...

Hello, I'm a bit disappointed. My friend wanted to join me for the Anna Marie Trombetta showing. Thursday and Friday, 8/8 -9/2024, I tried to download the ticket but stated it was closed. Upon the 8/10/2024 showing, we saw about five people there. Throughout the showing there were no more than ten people to join us. This is a shame as Anna Marie Trombetta showing could have brought a full house with standing only reserve. The museum did not offer the public a fair deal. How do you plan to continue to bring artists in without the public if you close...
