Quirky two room museum with old nick nacks and mementos from around New York city and it's past.

I love the city reliquary 😍 have been a member for a few months. I not only enjoyed the beautiful collection of NYC relics, but also loved their events which somehow always have such great vibes.

A great concept of a small-museum but as a New Yorker, nothing was really nostalgic for me. I will say, I learned a bit though! There’s a lot collected from NYs world fair, which I didn’t even know existed so looking into it was interesting. Also, the superwoman exhibit was cool - though my only commentary is that Margaret Sanger (highlighted for her womens rights work// planned parenthood) was actually very racist and her work was an extension of that. I wish she wasn’t highlighted as a queen without her truth being told. A simple good search will show that she was a practiced eugenics… as a black woman, not surprised to see history hold her up… i think that area can be improved, however, still a gem, and the owner + staff were very nice. I hear they have great events.

Very sweet, well curated, filled with fun objects and history. Plus the backyard is pleasant, beautiful, and creatively put together. Totally worth it!

Hi! It depends on how old the kid in question is. For children younger than around 6-7, the museum exhibits are probably not terribly interesting. But kids that age and older like learning stories about city history and seeing the old (very old to them!) artifacts.
