A Brief History of New York

NOW CLOSED

Selections from A History of New York in 101 Objects

Is it possible to define a city through its iconic or familiar objects? Sam Roberts’ new book, A History of New York in 101 Objects, attempts just that. This exhibition of some of the selected objects, from the New-York Historical Society’s own collection, presents an eclectic, sometimes unexpected, portrait of the city through its assorted things.
