If you're wondering what exactly you've stumbled onto here, then may I introduce you to our formerly email-only New York Newsletter? Every Tuesday, we tell you what's going on in the city's art world, including exhibitions to visit, events to attend, and, especially this week, ways to warm up. If you're a New Yorker, someone who visits or enjoys the city, or just a sicko who wants to feel FOMO, please subscribe below. Either way, welcome.
These house museums and foundations, all open to the public, invite visitors into preserved spaces that shaped some of the most influential artistic visions of the 20th century. The Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens is a famous example, winning the National Medal for museums in 2024. And Hamptons visitors often stop by the Pollock-Krasner House and studio in the hamlet of Springs, in East Hampton.
