Museums (III): Museum Mile

Another approach to New York museums is to visit all museums on Fifth Avenue. There are nine museums from 82nd St. to 104th St. and I've been to seven of them. (Note: the Frick Collection is down at 70th St.).

There's even a festival in the beginning of the summer called The Museum Mile Festival, which provides free access to all of them for one day.

El Museo del Barrio (1230 Fifth Ave. at 104th St.)
