Ange S. • August 14, 2013Opening hours fluctuate. Call them to make sure that they are definitely open. :/

Naked B. • January 28, 2012This is a really nice museum down in th Seaport. It's not the biggest, but for $5 it's worth every penny if you're down there. I'm happy that it has re-opened, the space by itself is worth it.

Harri M. • March 5, 2022A must-visit when in New York. Very impressive - and also a very sad experience. All of 9/11 documented and shown in a detailed manner. Great memorial site: important for the world for not to forget.

LodgeNetMobile • April 5, 2012A wonderful and historic place to check out in the heart of Manhattan's financial district. Check hours of operation though, as they're often closed on weekends.

Urban Oyster • March 30, 2011On the "Getting By" tour, several objects in the Baldizzi apartment are original artifacts used and donated by the family to the museum. Ask your tour guide which ones.

Fran R. • August 9, 2011A lot of interesting artifacts...a nice place visit...not enough to spend an entire day

Aya R. • January 16, 2010no matter who's artist is showing here, the building alone is worth the visit.

Pablo C. • April 13, 2015One of the best numismatic libraries. A previous appointment is indispensable.

Jenna S. • July 5, 2017This is where that man lives who's house is a welcoming collection of oddities. If you're in the area you should walk by and see if he's out! Say hi. Nicest guy ever. article: https://goo.gl/rYyHNu

Boon Y. • June 2, 2014Amazing 21st-Cent museum, made more poignant via interactive features, video, audio & salvaged every day items. Massive space - a sepulchre. Visit. Never Forget.

Joel W. • December 31, 2021I had a deep look around this gallery and read the website since then. He's productive, eloquent, and opinionated. None of the work strikes me as particularly amazing, challenging.

Fred • May 30, 2014Volunteers work hard to maintain this National Historic Landmark!

Chris B. • August 10, 2010fascinating ship docked at the South Street Seaport.
