Museum of the City of New York Reviews & Ratings
Part of the museum is under reconstruction but what we saw was great especially the exhibit on Joel Grey. Would love to return once the contruction is completed.
reviewed Jun 09 2011 report as inappropriateI went to see this Museam on one of my trips to NYC. Loved the layout of the Museam, but was a little dissapointed that there was not a more extensive history of New York in the original documentary narrated by Stanley Tucci.

reviewed Nov 01 2014 report as inappropriatethe 25 minute film on the history of NYC was absolutely wonderful as was the exhibit on the green food of NYC.

reviewed Jun 25 2011 report as inappropriateThe building is beautiful and it's a nice location (5th Ave.) However, half the museum was closed so it only takes about an hour to see everything, including an interesting slide show.
reviewed May 27 2011 report as inappropriateThe museum is small, but the exhibits were great. You should make a point to see the movie about how New York City came to be. I especially liked the Joel Grey photography exhibit & it has inspired me to walk around with my camera on a daily...continued

reviewed Aug 01 2014 report as inappropriateFor the size and history of NY, I was disappointed at how little history of NYC was exhibited at the museum.
