New York City is known for its excellent museums. In fact, NYC is a living museum in and of itself. There are colorful pop art installments on billboards in every direction. There are old bricks underfoot that once served as roads for horse-drawn carriages. There are foods from all over the world to sample nearby. You will stumble upon unexpected specialty shops that draw you in or confuse you. It’s invigorating. A museum visit is more than an interesting diversion with this frame of mind. It’s an expansion and extension of experience. However, NYC can be expensive, so an excellent museum that’s also free is a no-brainer. All three described below are fascinating, free, and worth your time.
