Museums of New York

When planning a Big Apple vacation a terrific way to spend a day is visiting one or more of the exceptional museums of New York. A walk through world history the history found within New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, a walk among the famous of today and yesterday at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, ancient history found at the King Tut Exhibit and finally, Bodies, The Exhibit is arguably the most unique of NYC exhibitions and possibly the most unique in the world. This writing will provide a brief overview for the traveler and resident to consider during contemplation of a days activity in New York City.

The jewel among museums of New York, New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is the place to see the great masters during a self-guided tour; Van Gogh, Monet, Rembrandt and others lend to the excellent collection of art from throughout human civilization. The comprehensive collection of sculpture, decorative art and paintings draw from ancient Egypt and Islam, Asia, America and Medieval Europe; all lend their particular mystic to the world renowned collection. While a self-guided tour is pleasant, it is not hard to become lost within the 2,000,000 sq. ft. building. For those who wish, free-guided tours are available with a paid admission. All options are among top city tours.

Madame Tussauds Wax Museum is home to over 200 wax sculptures. Pose with your favorite celebrities and explore the modern-day methods of the art that Madame Tussauds has perfected through the years. With an all access pass, you will enjoy the Madame’s newest feature, the Cinema 4-D with digital surround-sound and ultra sensory special effects creating a new movie experience. Family films from the ages will rotate with seasons. The wax museum is a little bit of history that everyone should experience at least once in your life.

The King Tut Exhibit is in town after a 30-year absence. King Tutankhamen is the boy pharaoh that has captivated the world with mystery for many centuries. The family riches unearthed with King Tut on display are now accentuated with scientific knowledge of the pharaoh’s life from DNA and other newly acquired research techniques. Now the visit to Discovery Times Square Exposition will give you new insights into the life and times of King Tut.

Finally, Bodies the Exhibition is an exhilarating exploration of the human animal. Never before has an exhibition such as this been attempted as space age technologies of preservation of human tissue make this exhibition possible. Dissection by organ groupings, comparisons of healthy and unhealthy tissues and the shear reality of what you are viewing will create a wonderful learning experience for all.

Apparent it is that to see all these museums of New York could dominate a Big Apple vacation. New York City's Metropolitan Museum of art is not for everyone although there is something for everyone there. Bodies the exhibit might not be enjoyed by all as the squeamish find it a little “gut wrenching.” On the other hand, the King Tut exhibit and Madame Tussauds Wax Museum is probably suitable for all ages and tastes. Regardless, these are areas of New York City attractions worthy of consideration. The venues are very capable of inspiring new appreciations of art, history, and science never before known by those who shy away. Therefore, enjoy some culture and history because you will never know until you go. Enjoy a top city tour and visit museums of New York.

Extraordinary exhibits and unforgettable experiences come to life at this exciting new vibrant space for entertainment, learning and adventure. Now showing, Pompeii The Exhibit - Life and Death in the Shadow of Vesuvius.

"You could hear women lamenting, children crying, men shouting. There were some so afraid of death that they prayed for death. Many raised their hands to the gods, and even more believed that there were no gods any longer and that this was one unending night for the world." ... Pliny the Younger, circa A.D. 97 to 109

It all lasted 19 hours.

"Then, there was only a long, deathly silence. Pompeii lay buried for nearly 1,700 years. It wasn't until 1748 that archaeologists began slowly uncovering the ancient city, preserved under 9 feet of volcanic ash and frozen in time." ... Pliny the Younger's vivid report.

About three-fifths of the city has been liberated from the solidified volcanic ash and pumice that engulfed it. But many questions remained unanswered for a long time.

What was life like under the volcano? What exactly did happen that summer day in A.D. 97? Take a look into the latest findings at Pompeii The Exhibit, in the Discovery Times Square Exposition.

The variety of subject matter stretches far. One explores an ancient world and another explores the inside of the human body as only modern man could. Then there is always the tribute to the greats, in wax.

The King Tut exhibit returns. It has been 30 years since the boy king’s last visit to New York. King Tutankhamen returns to the Discovery Times Square Exposition. All the new revelations of the king, found with the growth of technology, are shown. His gold crown and coffinette along with many other extraordinary artifacts are on display.

New York City's Metropolitan Museum of art offers over two million works of art from everywhere around the world. The New York museum's 2,000,000 square foot building has 24 period rooms, including the American Wing, which offers a glimpse at the history of early American domestic life. Some of the world’s most famous paintings, including collections of Rembrandt and Vermeer, compliment the medieval and renaissance Egyptian, European, and Asian drawings, sculptures, prints, and antiquities; they are all part of fascinating collections found within the walls of a piece of art in itself.

The 30,000 square foot exhibit is amazing.
