If you think that all museums are boring and are more or less the same, well you are wrong because the Tenement Museum is a type of museum you are not likely to see too often. It is a real inspiring insight to the lives of those who lived in these early 20th century tenements and recreates the experiences of the immigrants that lived here through harsh times. If you like to discover history, this is the place to go. The tenements are frozen in time as you get to take tours that explain very well about this time period from guides that also like to dress up in this and great learning experience for people of all ages.

It will become one of your favourite locations in New York City as you get to see how the city has developed from then to now and give a realistic insight of life back then. The museum has an impressive amount of interest in the archives and videos in the visitor centre shows life without water or electricity, something unimaginable in todays world. The museum is open for public tours daily and there are also neighbourhood walks to be enjoyed. The tours are divided up into different time periods and listening to the stories of families who lived in these tenements are compelling and fascinating. Finish off your visit with a gift from the cool gift shop that contains many items you do not normally see. Keep your explorers hat on as nearby Museums and Romantic Breaks are also worth a visit where culture and fine dining are never amiss.
