点评:When I was there (April 2026), there were 3 floors open to the public. This is totally focused on the history of New York City.
Upon entering, it is best to turn right. They have a room which starts with the Dutch settling in what was then New Amsterdam in 1609. The room is subdivided into sections based on key periods in New York history through the late 1800s. For instance, the Dutch era is 1609-1660. Then, you can cross over to the other side of the floor and they have a similar room that picks up where the first room leaves off and continues to the present. There are movies, interactive exhibits, artifacts, and things to read. There's a full scale model of New York City build from small stuff the size of Legos that you can see from 2 angles. I spent 75% of my time here.
If you go down the stairs, there's a movie that is just under a half hour that summarizes all that you see from the entry level.
If you go up the stairs, there's a room with what are called activist New York exhibits throughout time - similar set up to the first floor. There's a Songs of New York section which plays music over time - which I skipped. There's a photo gallery.
I spent just over 2 hours there. Love that it is chronological. Great that they have the exhibits and a summary movie.
翻译:我去的时候(2026年4月),有三层楼对外开放。这里完全专注于纽约市的历史。
进入后最好向右走。有一个展厅,从1609年荷兰人在当时的新阿姆斯特丹定居开始讲起。这个展厅根据纽约历史上的关键时期划分成不同的区域,一直延伸到19世纪末。例如,荷兰时期是1609年至1660年。然后,你可以走到楼层的另一侧,那里有一个类似的展厅,从第一个展厅结束的地方继续讲到现代。这里有电影、互动展览、文物和阅读材料。还有一个用乐高积木大小的小物件搭建的纽约市全尺寸模型,你可以从两个角度观看。我75%的时间都花在这里。
如果你下楼,会看到一部不到半小时的电影,它总结了你在入口处看到的所有内容。
如果你上楼,会看到一个房间,里面陈列着各个时期纽约的行动主义展览——布置和一楼类似。还有一个“纽约之歌”展区,会播放不同时期的音乐——我没去看。此外还有一个照片展厅。
我在那里待了两个多小时。我很喜欢这种按时间顺序排列的方式。展览和介绍影片都安排得很好。
