There are a couple of exhibits to see and there no cost to enter the museum. Which is nice. My only two complaints are parking can be difficult, but I was lucky enough to find parking on the street since the lot was $28. Also, since the museum is small, it's very short tour and there was only one floor that was open and it was a little limited. But we did all have a good time nevertheless. Would recommend visit the museum and take in the beautiful of art and experiences of the artist.

They give you a pair of socks to go into the bead pit, string to make a beaded necklace, a brochure of the beads and a bucket to hold your beads. Each bead is $1. There are lots and lots of beads.

There is a set of stairs to lead up to some art work above. Basically pictures of what was in the bead pit below. The back of the exhibit is the cashier. It was a good experience.

So I was a little prepared for this interesting art spot that is maybe a quarter or half mile south of the Little Red Lighthouse along the Hudson River in Fort Washington Park. These stacks are made from local rock, a type called Manhattan Schist. They seem to be ideal for stacking as they have square edges and flat sides. This phenomenon apparently started in July 2017 and were initially the work of Uliks Gryka, who was inspired to create them after noticing the medley of rough, jagged rocks strewn about the shore. With the Midtown skyline way off in the distance on a clear day, you could almost imagine that these stacks - some five or six rocks tall! - could be skyscrapers themselves. I wouldn't recommend starting stacking stones - it's quite habit forming to see how many you can stack successfully before they tumble like a heavier version of Jenga. And be warned - the existing stacks are not glued or cemented in place. They can fall (on you!) at any time. Best to observe from a few feet away. They're about level with 171st Street if it continued west to meet the Hudson (which it obviously doesn't). [Review 15649 overall - 246 in New York - 1153 of 2021.]

The museum is pay-what-you-wish for all New York residents, which is very nice! The main exhibit is about the history of New York City between the early 1600s and the present day. There is a mix of informational panels, artifacts, maps, and brief biographies of notable residents. There were about three special exhibits on display when I visited. The most interesting (in my opinion) of these was the history of protests and social movements in the city. It's worth a trip if you haven't been. I think both a tourist and local could appreciate this museum.
