Review:
The Museum of the City of New York is an art and history museum that presents the history of New York City and its people. Founded in 1923 by Henry Collins Brown, the museum is housed in a neo-Georgian-style red brick building with marble trim that was designed by Joseph H. Freedlander. Located on Fifth Avenue at the northern end of the Museum Mile opposite Central Park, the museum hosts a variety of exhibitions, including the first-ever museum presentation of New York City's four centuries of history. The building’s facade has Adolph Alexander Weinman statues of DeWitt Clinton and Alexander Hamilton facing Central Park.
