What to do and see in East Village, 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.

The Ukrainian Museum acquires, preserves, and exhibits articles of artistic or historic significance to the rich cultural heritage of Ukrainian Americans; its collections include thousands of items of folk art, fine art, and archival material. At its founding in 1976 by the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America, the Museum was hailed as one of the finest achievements of Americans of Ukrainian descent. Since then, and particularly since its move in 2005 to a new, state-of-the-art building in Manhattan’s vibrant East Village, it has become known as one of the most interesting and dynamic smaller museums in New York City. Each year, the Museum organizes several exhibitions, publishes bilingual (English/Ukrainian) catalogues, and presents a wide range of public and educational programs, including concerts, film, lectures, courses, workshops, and special events.

My tour of the Ukrainian museum took about an hour. However, the images and some of the things I learned will stay with me much longer than a one hour visit. I really appreciated the art of Mikhail Turovsky. We were allowed to use our cameras but I was hesitant to take a single picture in the first gallery. I I saw the many images of mother and child and felt it would be disrespectful to lift my phone and snap a picture. They were very moving to see. I also appreciated his landscape and cityscapes. In the lower level I saw a gallery of small pieces of paper that represented soldiers who had died defending their country very recently. The entire room is full of little pieces of paper with soldiers faces on them. I also saw photographs of older people who have been forced from their homes in the 1940s and some were able to return to their country in the 1990s. History and art of Ukraine. I will remember this visit to this museum and encourage others to go also

Located in a former speakeasy, the Gangster Museum's goal is to objectively present the role that crime has played in shaping the politics, culture, myth and lore of New York City -- and beyond.

Not a traditional museum. Two rooms with posted articles and pictures. Highly entertaining and interesting. Sign up for the tour. Alison had fascinating information and great stories. Go with a group and do Groupon.
