New York Historical Society Reopens

The city's oldest museum re-opens its doors Friday, November 11, after a $70 million renovation. Formerly a vault-like institution, the museum now has an inviting glass facade and a whole new attitude. With interactive games, exciting artworks, motion-sensitive "live paintings," and a brand new children's history museum, this isn't your grandma's historical society!

In addition to the cool psychedelic Keith Haring ceiling in the main hall, visitors will also be able to enjoy a roomier Great Hall, an Italian restaurant that stays open after museum hours and interactive touchscreen computer stations throughout the space. For example, at the "New York Rising" installation, visitors can rotate computer-generated representations of the objects displayed in front of them! 

From large scale sociopolitical events--the New York Historical Society has the largest collection of September 11, 2001 events and is already amassing memorabilia from "Occupy Wall Street"--to touchingly intimate glimpses into New York life--a pair of child's boots recovered from the 1904 General Slocum passenger ship fire, the New York Historical Society has always been a rich, fascinating
depository of New York artifacts but now it invites New Yorkers to participate in their own history.
