What you'll do
Ready to time-travel through NYC’s past? The New York Historical is the city’s first museum and still one of its coolest.
Explore 400+ years of American history with art, artifacts and interactive exhibits. Don’t miss the sparkling Tiffany Lamp Gallery, the iconic Audubon Birds of America Focus Gallery, a spot-on Oval Office replica and the fun, hands-on DiMenna Children’s History Museum.
Your pass also gets you two short films — New York Story, a fast-paced look at the city’s history, and We Rise, a powerful journey through women’s rights.
And yes, there’s a great restaurant and café for when you’re ready to refuel.
