#TenementMuseum is wonderful

Black and white early 1900s photo of a woman sitting in a cramped New York tenement 2-room apartment.

Post #Alcatraz, Trump decides to re-open the “big, beautiful” apartments of the #TenementMuseum @tenementals.bsky.social #NYC

Decor from at least 1935, if not earlier, in the hallway of the Tenement Museum . What a cool museum — it is fascinating to see the old rooms & I wanted to purchase their entire library.

Immigration Museum NYC | Tenement Museum The Tenement Museum shares stories of the immigrant and migrant experience through guided tours of two historic tenement buildings in NYC.

#TenementMuseum – my #NYC favourite! Did two tours of recreated immigrant homes on the #LowerEastSide: the Rogarshevskys (from Telšiai, Lithuania, 1901), the Baldizzis (Italy, 1930s), the Epsteins (Holocaust survivors, 1950s), and the Saez Velez family (Puerto Rico). www.tenement.org

In the 1920s, #Orchard Street, with its pushcarts, was the capital of the Jewish #LowerEastSide, #NYC.

When in New York, for an illuminating experience, visit the #TenementMuseum on Orchard, the same street...one-hundred years later.

Day 2/20

Went to the #TenementMuseum yesterday. I’d been wanting to go for years. Especially with having heard my Nonno talk about what life was like when he first emigrated to #NYC from Italy. It truly felt like I walked thru time and was visiting an old relative’s home.
