Melissa F. • May 17, 2010I'll go again next time I'm in NYC! Beautiful use of small space, thoughtful & informative exhibits. And the gift shop sells G.O.D. goodies!

Ange S. • August 14, 2013Opening hours fluctuate. Call them to make sure that they are definitely open. :/

Naked B. • January 28, 2012This is a really nice museum down in th Seaport. It's not the biggest, but for $5 it's worth every penny if you're down there. I'm happy that it has re-opened, the space by itself is worth it.

James C. • February 9, 2015Really good staff and exhibits are totally worth it. Check it out.

Roger S. • December 9, 2012Highly recommended both for the exhibits - interesting for adults but many child-friendly too - as well as the amazing vintage subway cars that you can explore.

Char • December 24, 2018Very well done museum that is respectful of all the victims and families

Harri M. • March 5, 2022A must-visit when in New York. Very impressive - and also a very sad experience. All of 9/11 documented and shown in a detailed manner. Great memorial site: important for the world for not to forget.

James C. • February 21, 2014Really nice museum. Small but focus is on the site and prohibition. Guide was really good and knowledgable.

Jana L. • July 29, 2013Fabulous stop while touring lower Manhattan. They offer a Jr Ranger program for the kids, and plenty of rangers available to help and encourage them. Esp cool for a kid studying early US history.

Urban Oyster • March 30, 2011On the "Getting By" tour, several objects in the Baldizzi apartment are original artifacts used and donated by the family to the museum. Ask your tour guide which ones.

Chris S. • August 13, 2014Great little museum. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely check this place out if you have time!

Aya R. • January 16, 2010no matter who's artist is showing here, the building alone is worth the visit.

Pablo C. • April 13, 2015One of the best numismatic libraries. A previous appointment is indispensable.

Jenna S. • July 5, 2017This is where that man lives who's house is a welcoming collection of oddities. If you're in the area you should walk by and see if he's out! Say hi. Nicest guy ever. article: https://goo.gl/rYyHNu

Sara . • September 25, 2015Awesome museum with really interesting exhibits. Also an amazing wedding venue.

candace k. • January 9, 2014Both a moving and calming experience. Beautiful use of water. Make sure to get your tickets online in advance -- lots of queuing otherwise

Joel W. • December 31, 2021I had a deep look around this gallery and read the website since then. He's productive, eloquent, and opinionated. None of the work strikes me as particularly amazing, challenging.

Fred • May 30, 2014Volunteers work hard to maintain this National Historic Landmark!
