New
York City Miniature Museums Guide - Want to take a detour off
the beaten culture track for an hour or two? Why not bypass Fifth Avenue's
Museum Mile and sample one of the many unconventional small museums located
throughout the five boroughs. Most offer tours that help clarify the
collections - and you'll never have to crane your neck to see a painting over
the heads of a crowd. Bear in mind that hours at these mini-museums may be
offbeat as well, so call ahead for schedules before popping in.
