Details

The Tenement Museum tells the stories of working-class tenement residents, who moved to New York City from other countries and other parts of the country. Their work helped build the City and nation, and their stories help us understand our history. Their educator-led building and walking tours immerse visitors in the tenement hallways, kitchens and parlors where families carved out new lives—as well as the surrounding Lower East Side neighborhood in which they lived.
