    Caution, this exhibit is graphic and not everyone will appreciate the wealth of information and knowledge you get from visiting this exhibit.

    Its an amazing exhibit with actual human specimens that allows everyone to get first hand knowledge and view the body as the medical professions view it. It is quite fascinating to see how smoking damages the lungs, and how cancer can ravage the body. You will also have the opportuny to see fetuses at different stages of developement. You'll see the bodies in different stages including the skeletal system, nervous system and even the muscles.

    Check out their website, they currently have exhibits in many cities throughout the US (DC had an exhibit in May, and I believe its no longer there), and even in Barcelona Spain.

    PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO PHTOGRAPHY ALLOWED OF THE EXHIBIT

    I've been to the American Folk Art Museum a couple of times now, both times it has had tremendously fascinating exhibits.

    Folk Art isn't the typical handpainted tea tray that many people think of when they hear the term. It is anything created by someone without formal art training.

    Last time I visited they had an exhibit on Fraktur, which is a type of calligraphy practiced in Pennsylvania, and one depicting the life's work of a man who spent most of his life in a german asylum and drew constantly.

    The museum is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

    • I visited this place back what it was the Museum of American Craft. It had a beautiful permanent collection and terrific curated exhibits. It seems to focus on three-dimensional works such as ceramics, wood, origami and all manner of things.

    If you don't have time to go in and see the collection, at least stop by the gift shop where they have gorgeous handmade items on sale.

    Open daily. On Thursdays from 6-8 admission is pay-what-you-can.

    We used the Whitney to start off a Friday evening of VT fun. Abstract art: well..... ok some of the stuff was cool. Most of it is trash. I dont get it when trash can pass as art but then again lots of people dont get why i will spend money to travel but not on baseball jerseys. To each their own. If abstract art is your thing. this is the place to go.

    It often becomes hard to learn via guidebooks whether a building has survived the ravages of time and stands merely restored, refurbished or renovated, or if the entire complex has been rebuilt from detailed plans and designs of the original. So it is with Fraunces Tavern and its museum. The building graces a corner of the historic block by that name, so it "survives" as part of an 18-19th century city block. Downstairs the building functions as an elegant upscale diner, but upstairs on its upper two floors is a historic museum of great importance. In the Long Room of the second floor, Washington gave his impassioned farewell to his officers in 1783. The third floor contains exhibits and artefacts of the same era. The admission to the museum is $3.

    • Yes. It exists. Formerly known as the Museum of American Financial History they are now in the process of moving to a new location on Wall Street. An interesting place with enough of an exhibit to keep my mind busy. My favorite exhibit they have shown here was in 2003 when they ran the 100 years of flight. It covered the history of aviation and how its impacted the economy.

    Currently you can see Survival of the Fittest. A history on the DJIA.

    • Again someplace I have not been in years here in the city. Used to come with my sister when she lived in the city.

    They have all sorts of tapes of radio programs and tv shows that you can sit and view. I took so long reading the lists my first time we left without me seeing anything as i just couldnt decide what to watch.

    Have just come into a copy of the radio call of game 3 of the 1963 World Series I must say i would now much rather be into the radio side of the place. And as such should be returning this week.

    Located in the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House (see previous tip) the N.Y. branch of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian - the George Gustav Heye Center - offers permanent and temporary exhibits that celebrate the rich cultural heritage of America's original peoples. It's also an education facility for in-depth exploration and study of our many diverse tribal communities. Besides the many, beautifully displayed artifacts, special events at the center may include film or photo showings, lectures or native dance, songs, stories or arts. Check the website for a calendar of special events and programs. This is a great activity on a rainy day.

    The George Gustav Heye Center is open 364 days a year; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily; Thursdays until 8 p.m; closed December 25th.

    The Whitney Museum of American Art has an interesting permanent collection located on the 5th floor, but I struggled to see the merit of most of the temporary exhibits that are displayed on floors 2, 3 and 4. There was one in particular that actually annoyed me. It was called, "Unrepentant Ego: The Self-Portraits of Lucas Samaras," (running from November 13, 2003 – February 8, 2004) and featured nothing but bizarre photos of the artist. To call this exhibit "idiosyncratic" would be too kind. I thought it was creepy.

    Having said all that, most people that enjoy modern, experimental art will love the Whitney.

    Monday and Tuesday Closed
    Wednesday and Thursday 11 am-6 pm
    Friday 1-9 pm (6-9 pm pay-what-you-wish admission)
