Activist New York Sign

The Museum of City New York seems like a must-visit for anyone living in New York City. I attended it because of a class, but it was helpful.
It is divided into two floors, and the exhibition is on, and we started viewing from the second floor. There seem to be many more things on the 2nd floor than on the 1st floor. The second-floor talks about the modern society of New York.
As New York is famous for its street food, it was an exhibition that well showed the hardships street merchants faced and the era of discrimination against immigrants. In particular, in New York, where there is great cultural diversity, progressive and conservative activists have voiced their voices (immigration, gender equality, political and civil rights, religious freedom, environmental advocacy, global issues, and economic rights) were being introduced.

 

The New Diversity

The exhibition on the first floor explains, in chronological order, from the 17th century, when trade between the Native Americans and the Dutch began, to the 19th century, New York, the most populous city, the most culturally diverse, and the most influential in the United States. Personally, I really liked this exhibition on the first floor. I could see how the city of New York, where I am studying and living now, was born, who lived here first, and where and how immigrants usually came from. It was also because I was able to look into what industry developed around it and could become the center of the world. I knew and felt that people of various nationalities make up New Yorkers, but it was better to know about the background of the times, about where, how, and from which country they came through this museum.

What makes New York New York

In this phrase, it picked MONEY, DIVERSITY, DENSITY, and CREATIVITY as the four elements that represent New York, and it was amazing that I wrote what I felt while living in New York.
