Amazing museum! They do the best with their size since each piece and story is amazing! You can easily spend 2 hours here!

Cute, informative gallery. Easy place to spend an hour or just pop in for a peek.

I loved my visit to this museum, and the gift shop afterwards. I was truly awed by the works in the museum, especially the needlearts. My daughter and I stayed for a few hours and we were delighted. I am surprised that this gem is free. Wish their donation box had been located on the way OUT instead of the way in. I didn't know how wonderful it was on my way in.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I have a collection of 195 toy robots that have only been used for an exhibition. I wish to donate then to an institution. Can you suggest an appropriate location.

The American folk art museum would probably be a good place to start. Or try going to the main Manhattan library on 5th ave 42nd at. They could probably direct you in the right direction
