Things to do in New York City, New York (NY): The Best Art Museums
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

The Museum of Arts & Design provides an excellent overview of contemporary decorative arts; with live music played in the galleries on some Saturdays. I caught the current special exhibits, which highlighted Brian Clarke (who makes contemporary stained glass & other designs) and Beth Lipman (who works in glass). After visiting so many cathedrals and marveling at the stained glass windows, it was interesting to see current artists working in stained glass. I caught the Saturday music concert by Mathew Lipman, who played solo viola selections among the galleries discussed above. Reminded my of attending similar music concerts in various cathedrals. I recommend catching of the future Saturday music concerts at this Museum.
