I love architecture of buildings inside and out. This gives me the chance to share what New York offers much to its visitors, not least when it comes to the arts. From galleries to the theater, visitors to the Big Apple won’t be disappointed by the impressive number of museums and venues to enjoy.

Open all days of the week except Mondays, New York’s Museum of Arts and Design offers visitors guided gallery tours, as well as private tours. There is also the opportunity to see artists and designers at work, and to talk with them about the projects they are working on. While the monthly Studio Sundays that are conducted by professional artist-educators and artists, offer workshops to all age groups. The museum also holds a diverse range of exhibitions featuring work by both artists and designers.

Broadway will provide a memorable experience for anyone interested in the theatre. With its 40 sizeable venues, Broadway is to the theatre what Hollywood is to the film industry in the States.

Metropolitan Opera

Often referred to simply as the Met, Metropolitan Opera is a world-renowned opera house. It puts on many different shows during the course of a year, and is the leading classical music venue in the US.

Like all of the great cities of the world, New York City places great emphasis on the importance of the arts. There is also so much to see that it’ll be hard to resist coming back to New York over and over again.
