While New York City’s abundance of museums and cultural institutions is by no means an embarrassment, it’s certainly true that too much of a good thing can scramble the eggs of one’s brain once it comes time to narrow choices down. There’s an incredible diversity of world-class museums in this city—in terms of location, of course, with essential entries spread across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, but also with regard to subject matter. There are the major art players, like the Met and the Brooklyn Museum, with massive headquarters housing expansive collections. But there are smaller spots—the famed Guggenheim, the International Center for Photography Museum—as well as those concerned not with art but history and science. No matter what interests you, there’s a museum to wander through—find our picks for the best of them below.
