The Best Museums

  • Best Overall Museum: American Museum of Natural History. You can spend your entire visit to New York at this 4-square-block museum; there is that much to see. From the famed dinosaur halls to the Hall of Ocean Life, the Museum of Natural History houses the world's greatest natural science collection.

  • Best Art Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art. Not just the best art museum in New York, but the best in North America. The number of masterworks is mind-boggling.

  • Best-Looking Museum: Museum of Modern Art. Though the sight of the Guggenheim is the most memorable, and the New Museum of Contemporary Art is oddly attractive, MoMA's $450-million renovation makes it the coolest-looking museum, inside and out, in town.

  • Best New York Museum about New York: Museum of the City of New York. Start here and get a feel of what the city is like -- from past to present. There are always fascinating exhibits.

  • Best Home Posing as a Museum: The Louis Armstrong House Museum. This unassuming house in Queens was Satchmo's home for almost 30 years and it's been preserved almost exactly as it was when he died in 1971.
