Lauren Mac: Pixar exhibition here is on point for kids and adults alike. Great interactive stopping points highlighting all parts of the animation process in an educational, but fun manner. How museums should be!
Ana Topete: Even tho the tickets are quite expensive every single thing in this exhibit is worth it. Fun for adults and kids, a lot of interactive activities. Don't miss it!

Bloomingdale's: With the dim lighting and unlabeled paintings, this Venetian palazzo seems less like a museum and more of a private collection – which in fact it was. Visit on your birthday, and admission’s free.
