Fascinating Historical Museum in NYC!

Take a step back through history when you visit the Tenement Museum. Located within a restored tenement building, each floor of this museum is decorated in period furnishings from a different time period in its history. Learn about the hardships New Yorkers had had to live with during the Great Depression, find out about the difficult lives of sweatshop workers in the 1800s and taste what foods immigrants in NYC's early history would have eaten.

Various types of tours are available, some with tour guides, others with actors in period garb who represent the type of person who might have lived in the tenement house. Open 10am thorugh 6pm every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day.
