New York Interiors April 17, 2007

The Museum of the City of New York's Decorative Arts Collection had its origins in the earliest days of the Museum, born in a movement to preserve interiors of great New York homes that were being torn down to make way for new development in the 1920s. Today, the Collection has extensive holdings of furniture, domestic objects and original interiors that shed light on the daily lives of New Yorkers from different eras.
