What does community mean to you? New York is known for diverse communities and subcultures whose ideas make lasting impacts on the city. Join us for a fun-filled exploration of different neighborhoods in New York City through a scavenger hunt around the Museum. Then head back to the workspace where you’ll create a treasure map of your neighborhood including all of your favorite places!

Family programs are free with Museum admission and for Members, and geared toward families with children ages 6–12 years old. Activities are designed for adults and children to complete together.
