The Tenement Museum
Housed in the Lower East Side neighborhood of Manhattan, the Tenement Museum is a National Historic Site and worth your time even when you’ve none! The museum is made up of two dated tenement buildings that housed over 15,000 people between 1863 and 2011. What makes the Tenement Museum truly special is the fact that the buildings housed people from over 20 nations and promotes something the world sorely lacks now – empathy and tolerance. If you’re on the lookout for an authentic immigrant experience in New York City, the Tenement Museum is where you should be at.
