In a city that is always bustling, join us to explore what has stayed the same and what has changed throughout New York City history. Children and adults will work together on hands-on activities to explore the daily life of New Yorkers dating back to the Lenape living in Mannahatta to the people who reside here today. Discover images and objects from our collections, and work on various art projects to make meaningful connections to New York City’s past.
