Tenement Museum, Lower East Side, Manhattan

If you want to delve into the history of New York City, the Tenement Museum is a really good place to start. The story of this city is about immigration and it is what makes New York City so diverse and interesting.

“At a time when issues surrounding migrants, refugees, and immigration have taken center stage, the Tenement Museum is a potent reminder that, as a nation shaped by immigration, our brightest hope for the future lies in the lessons of the past.”
