Weekday Sketchers at NY Historical
Join us this week as we return to the New York Historical (formally the NY Historical Society) just in time to capture the yearly display of antique toy trains and toys, along with many other exhibits now on display.
Branded as New York's first Museum or sometimes New York City's Attic, the Historical has a treasure trove of artifacts that make fabulous sketch book material. Housed in a beautiful building across from the American Museum of Natural History, we can spend hours, or more likely days, sketching the beautiful Tiffany lamps, the exhibit on What Women Wore or the exhibit on Pets in the City. Of course there is always the wonderful open storage area with amazing artifacts from years gone by. And the replica of the Oval Office in the Meet the President exhibit.
