– Op de hoek van 92nd St zit het Jewish Museum met een prachtige kunstcollectie. De Goudstikker collectie wordt er op dit moment getoond (tot 1 augustus 2009).

The Jewish Museum, one of the world's largest and most important institutions devoted to exploring the remarkable scope and diversity of Jewish culture, was founded in 1904.
Founded in 1904 with just 26 donated objects, the Museum has grown a thousand-fold, and its collections now comprise 27,000 items, ranging from archaeological artifacts to works by today's cutting-edge artists. Whether hundreds of years old or newly created, each object collected or exhibited by the Museum embodies an aspect of a truly universal story: at once ancient and modern, global and local, material and spiritual.

A great place to start is the permanent exhibition, Culture and Continuity: The Jewish Journey. It tells the story of the Jewish people through more than 800 works of art chosen from the Museum's remarkably diverse holdings of paintings and sculpture; prints and drawings; installation art; decorative arts; antiquities; and media, including a uniquely comprehensive body of radio and television programs related to the Jewish experience.
