Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York

I, Dallas Plummer, type this blog post from the Cooper Hewitt Museum on 91st Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, which is a part of the Smithsonian Institute and this part of Fifth Avenue is referred to as Museum Mile. The Cooper-Hewitt Museum sits in Andrew Carnegie's mansion, which has national historic landmark status and was taken over by the Smithsonian Institute in 1977 and is now the design museum which you see today. They have a cafe, garden and extremely valuable galleries and a day pass for an individual is $15.00. Visit their website at www.cooperhewitt.org. This New York City museum has a style and ambiance all its own and is a good visit for research and development or simply to come to a quiet place for genuflection. You can reach the museum by taking the Lexington Avenue (IRT) 4, 5, 6 to 86th Street and walk to Fifth Avenue and then go up to 91st Street. Enjoy your day and it's well worth the time spent. The Smithsonian Institute is overall a cool place to visit, especially The Castle in Washington DC. In the summertime, their gardens are nice to just sit in and have a cup of java, provided the bees don't attack you. Here are two photos from different views of the Cooper Hewitt Museum aka as Andrew Carnegies' mansion. Pretty impressive but 64 rooms? and here is the last one . Again, you may visit the website of the Smithsonian Institute at www.si.edu for a listing of all museums in the Smithsonian family of museums but for the New York City museum that is part of the Smithsonian, visit the Cooper Hewitt at www.cooperhewitt.org
