--AMONG THE EXHIBITS TO BE SEEN--
ART DECO CITY
During the 1920s and '30s, Art Deco heralded New York’s arrival as a cosmopolitan metropolis. Art Deco City: illuminates the key role postcards played in transforming our vision of New York. Featuring over 250 postcards as well as decorative arts, and architectural models.
NY AT ITS CORE
450 years of NY history framed in 450 objects. We will look at only few of them.
THE MARTIN WONG GRAFFITI COLLECTION
New York’s age of graffiti began in the early 1970s. This new movement, often consciously artistic despite its unsanctioned origins, shows many artists who transitioned from illegally 'tagging' to creating paintings respected by museums.

Activist New York presents the passions and conflicts that underlie the city's history of agitation. We will look at immigration in the 19th and 21st Centuries.
SHIRLEY CHISHOLM AT 100 YEARS
