25 out of 88 Museums in Manhattan

Okay, so in the very SLIM chance you didn't know, I work at a museum (Springfield Science Museum to be exact) and I'm OBSESSED with museums. One of the reasons I chose NYC is because of it's amazing museum population. There are 88 museums in Manhattan and although I'm completely confident that Karissa and I can make it to all the libraries (because we're superstars) EIGHTY EIGHT museums seems like much. You'd need a whole day for each (if not more), which means 88 days. SO I'm going to narrow it down to the top 25, based on stuff that Karissa and I would actually do. I mean, come on, what are a writer and a preschool teacher going to do in the Museum of Police History? Or the Mossman Lock Museum? (Legit, it's a museum full of locks!) So here are my Top Twenty Five Museum Choices:

The Hayden Planetarium at the AMNH

1. Museum of Modern Art
2. Metropolitan Museum of Art
3. American Museum of Natural History
4. Museum of Sex
5. Chelsea Art Museum
6. The Cloisters
7. Children's Museum of Manhattan (We might have to find some kids for this one! So it's worth some definite bonus points!)
8. Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty
9. Fusion Arts Museum
10. The Guggenheim
11. Hayden Planetarium at the AMNH
12. The Jewish Museum
13. The Jazz Museum in Harlem
14. International Print Center New York
15. Museum of the City of New York
16. New Museum
17. Neue Gallery New York
18. New York Public Library for the Performing Arts: Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center
19. MTA New York Transit Museum
20. Rose Museum at Carnegie Hall
21. Rubin Museum of Art
22. The Skyscraper Museum
23. The Studio Museum
24. The Theatre Museum
25. Whitney Museum of American Art

Wow, that list is pretty impressive if I do say so myself. (And I do). Hoping I can get into most of this stuff for free with my Springfield Museums employee or student IDs. That'd be SUPER! Then I could split the regular price of one ticket with Karissa and we could use our savings to eat lunch. :]
