Manhattan is an island packed with some of the world’s most recognizable landmarks. Spend time in Central Park, see a Broadway show, and experience the bright rush of Times Square. Each neighborhood here has its own rhythm, from the historic streets of Harlem to the cobblestones of SoHo and the towering skyline of Midtown. The borough is also home to major art institutions: the Guggenheim, with its distinctive Frank Lloyd Wright design and collection of modern masterpieces, and the New Museum on the Lower East Side, known for its focus on contemporary art. Down by the harbor, the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration tells the stories of those who came to America seeking new lives, right next to the Statue of Liberty, still one of the city’s most powerful symbols.

Lake Maschsee is one of the city's most popular destinations, and a maritime paradise for everyone who wants to go for a swim, for a ride or for a picnic. While offering a recreational area in the very heart of the city, sports happens both on the water and all around it, for yachting, canoeing and pedal-boating as well as for joggers, skaters and strollers.

Since 1916, this society has championed artists by hosting solo exhibitions, and as one of the major art societies, it makes an important contribution to the international art scene. Pioneering modern art, this gallery offers a great insight into recent developments and tendencies.
