Timescapes: A Multimedia Portrait of New York
Ongoing

Timescapes, a 25-minute multimedia experience, traces the growth of New York City from a settlement of a few hundred Europeans, Africans, and Native Americans to its present status as one of the world’s great cities. Created by Jake Barton of Local Projects and James Sanders, co-writer of the PBS series New York: A Documentary History, and narrated by actor Stanley Tucci, the film features animated maps and archival photographs, prints, and paintings from the Museum’s collections.

Timescapes runs every half hour from 10:15 to 4:45.

Timescapes is made possible by Marvin H. Davidson and Jeremy H. Biggs.
