The Polonsky Exhibition:
Let’s escape our every day and go into the city for some inspirational, mind opening, quirky artistic fun! Hundreds of interesting treasures have been pulled from the New York Library’s expansive and centuries-spanning archive to create “The Polonsky Exhibition”.
Today we’ll browse more than 250 rare and unique items that span 4000 years of history including the only surviving letter from Christopher Columbus announcing his “discovery” of the Americas and the first Gutenberg Bible brought to America. Other fun treasures include the stuffed animals that inspired Winnie the Pooh, Charles Dickens desk, and Malcom X’s briefcase.
Take your time to wander and enjoy!
Essex Market:
Off to lunch on your own at the historic Essex Market, now filled with a variety of food vendors. You will be sure to find something delicious here!
Monet's Garden:
Awaken your senses and experience the world of Claude Monet at the brand-new immersive exhibition, MONET’S GARDEN. Go on a 360-degree journey through the history and work of one of the greatest and most influential painters of all time. Using state-of-the-art multimedia and multi-sensory technology, you can dive into the Father of Impressionism’s paintings and get a glimpse into the inner workings of his mind. Explore his studio and learn about his life, struggles, and inspirations before stepping into the scenery of Monet’s Garden where you’ll be invited to walk across the bridge and enter the paintings through interactive projections, and finally float among the waterlilies in a completely immersive installation of Monet’s most famous work.
