The Bronx Museum of the Arts

Lovely place. Free admission. Small, intimate collection.

The Bronx’s main museum has received much attention during the past few years due to their landmark exhibitions as well as expanded programing so there's always something to do at the space.

They're newly opened XM Café is the perfect place to start or end your trip here as you enjoy a delicious cup of Morris Perk coffee which has become a favorite of many organizations and Bronxites. You can even pick up a bag of this amazing blend along with other items at the gift shop.

Signing up to the museum's mailing list is a must to keep up-to-date on the plethora of events held here.

Bonus: admission is free!

Always pinpoint accurate on the current and future pulse of modern art!

Lots of activities, coffee shop inside premises, you got to give a try

I had the most amazing time here at the Bronx Museum. I actually just stumbled upon it at the right time when I was walking around (visiting NYC for my first time). Miriam was so helpful, knowledgeable, and about the nicest lady you could meet. She was quick to inform me about the Coquito contest I was just in time for...free food and drinks plus I got to meet so many cool people! It was amazing to be able to experience real Bronxites in action and really see the community out.

The Orchard Beach: The Bronx Riviera exhibit by Wayne Lawrence was inspiring and worth the trip in itself. (You can see the pics on the Bronx Museum website, but they just don't do justice to the real thing).

I will surely be back for another visit ASAP. =)
