The Tenement Museum is one of New York's most original and moving museums. Set in a real 1863 tenement building in the Lower East Side, it tells the story of American immigration through apartments restored as they were lived in between 1869 and 2001. Themed guided tours introduce you to Irish, German, Jewish and Chinese families who lived here. It's a fascinating dive into the New York melting pot.
