Things to do in New York City, New York (NY): The Best 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.

1. The Center for Book Arts
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
The Center for Book Arts is one of few contemporary arts organizations dedicated to the art of the book, and the only location in New York City at which visitors can view book arts exhibitions in the context of an active, working studio. In keeping with the Center's mission, our exhibitions endeavor to place book art practice within the larger context of contemporary art, exploring the book as object, as media, and as a site of resistance. The Center for Book Arts is dedicated to exploring and cultivating contemporary aesthetic interpretations of the book as an art object, while preserving the traditional practices of the art of the book. The Center seeks to facilitate communication between the book arts community and the larger spheres of contemporary art and literature through exhibitions, classes, public programming, literary presentations, opportunities for artists and writers, publications, and collecting. Founded in 1974 and still located in Manhattan, it was the first not-for-profit organization of its kind in the nation, and has since become a model for others around the world.

This is a fantastic hands on, interactive museum with challenges and puzzles appropriate for everyone! There are so many exhibitions and an enormous range of topics are covered. I was there with my Mum who was in a mobility scooter (the place is fully accessible and convenient) and three teenagers and my husband. We all have different levels of math ability and interest but every one of us was 100% engaged in the exhibits for hours! We will rush back there on our next visit to NYC. I highly recommend - particularly if you are looking to inspire someone to take more interest in math.
