This elegant museum, just across the street from upper Central Park, aims to teach visitors not just about the past and present of New York, but also about its future. The city is shown to be a living organism, not just a collection of skyscrapers and bridges. Most weekends bring spectacular dance or musical performances from around the city and the world, from church choirs to fire eaters. This would be the right place to inspire in your child a sense of the beauty, color and life that make up this city.
