New York Exploration: The Museum of the City of New York (2)ποΈ
From the Empire State Building to the subway station, every piece of gingerbread tells the story of this city. You can feel the strong holiday atmosphere and be deeply moved by the delicacy and creativity of the craftsmanship. These works are not only a feast for the eyes but also emit a faint aroma of gingerbread, which is very healing! I particularly loved the details in the "Gingerbread New York" exhibition, such as the architectural textures depicted with icing and the bridges made of chocolate. It's truly breathtaking. π In addition to the gingerbread exhibition, there are many other wonderful exhibitions that make your day full of discoveries: Martin Wong's Graffiti Art Collection: Focusing on the graffiti art of young creators, it showcases their unique expression and vitality. π¨ The City of Decorative Arts: Leonard A. Lauder's Collection of New York Postcards: Through postcards and other decorative art pieces, it immerses viewers in the charm of the modern metropolis. π Changing the Face of Democracy: Shirley Chisholm's 100th Birthday: Highlighting the life and legacy of this African American female politician. π Byzantium in the Bronx: Manny Vega's New York: Telling the cultural story of the El Barrio community through mosaic art. π¨ Steeplechase Toy House: A New Perspective: The restored and reinterpreted toy house, showcasing its unique charm. π π Opening Hours: Monday to Friday 10:00-17:00 | Saturday to Sunday 10:00-18:00 #NewYork#Museum #MuseumOfTheCityOfNewYork π¨
