The Metropolitan Museum of Art
This post usually becomes my top rated post for most of the year. New York City and it's 5 boroughs have some of the most amazing museums in the world. Fashion, Art, Jewels, History - you pick your passion, and you will find it here!! It is always helpful to have some of the best exhibits all in one place. This is just a small number of the marvelous exhibits for 2013, some have opened in 2012, and I have linked to each museum below so you can find more information. If for some reason the link does not work, just Google the museum name and it should take you to the site. They are listed in order that the exhibit ENDS.
I will also be updating this post through the year, with new exhibits added, so check back periodically. I highly suggest when visiting the city, try to add 1 museum tour to your itinerary, as those who call New York City home, are always a most fascinating experience.
The newly opened Houdini Museum is a neat treat for those interested in magic and his amazing story. Admission is Free.
ENDING IN JANUARY 2013
