What Makes New York New York?
This project is currently under construction.

When complete, you will have opportunity to join with the Museum's curators to create a slideshow about the archetypes and icons of New York City. You'll be able to choose images from this website that, for you, help to answer the question "What makes New York New York?" After choosing, you'll nominate the image, with your own description of why that image is a part of what makes New York New York, for inclusion in the show.

The Curators at the Museum have given this project a start, with hand-picked images and personal "takes"--join them in telling why this city is New York, New York!
