On my trip to the Museum of the city of New York City I was very interested as to what I didn’t not know about NYC. I had a few art pieces that I liked a lot and one of them was the Stettheimer Dollhouse on the first floor. Here is a photo of one of the 2 kitchens that was in the dollhouse. If you look closely everything look so real, This house was a replica of the original house that stood on West 58th street in NYC. I love the tiniest things and of course caught my eye. The food, the plates, the shelves, the table cloth, the cabinets and everything down to the walls. It looks so realistic. This dollhouse is something I dreamed of having as a little girl. This dollhouse has about 10 rooms and all of them had looked an actual NYC apartment.

On the second floor of the museum there was a exhibit for laborers of NYC. I loved this oil painting on canvas with a mother and her 2 daughters on their way home. The name of this Oil painting is “Home to Harlem”. I used to live in Harlem when I was about 7 yrs old, I remember being with made dad going back and forward from Brooklyn to Harlem. This image brings back memories of me and my siblings taking that train ride up to Harlem and remembering how we used to fall asleep. The colors, with shadows and the expressions in the faces look so soothing for me. Love, love this piece.

This room was on the very last floor for exhibits. This room was super cool with all these ages of bikes and the history of bikes in NYC. This exhibit showed gear that was used in the early days of NYC, there were helmets and outfits on display for people to see.  Amazing photographs of different groups of people and individuals in NYC on bikes were on the walls. We jokingly laughed at a few photos of woman that wore long skirts to ride their bikes. When exiting this room there were the lastest bikes that we have in NYC which are our infamous CITIBIKES, They were on display to ride and race while staying in place something like working out at the gym on the bike. There was a screen with a simulator and replica of the city park bike trail showing how fast you were peddling. IT WAS COOL.
