MUSEOS EN NEW YORK

Si lo suyo son los museos, debe visitar sin duda alguna la ciudad de Nueva York. Muchos de los museos mas importantes del mundo están situados en la ciudad de los rascacielos desde el Guggenheim con su edificio de diseño construido con interiores y un hall espectacular, pasando por el Museo de Arte Metropolitano.

New York es un lugar delicioso para todos los amantes de la pintura, la escultura y el arte en general.

Algunos museos a destacar son:

Museo Nacional de los Indios Americanos

El Museo de Cera

El MOMA (Museo de Arte Moderno)

Es importante consultar las guías de la ciudad pues muchos museos tienen políticas de entrada gratuita un día o unas horas determinadas a la semana e incluso algunos tienen política de "pay you wish" paga lo que desees aceptando donativos de unos 5 a 7 dólares por entrar.

Nueva York también es conocida como "la ciudad que nunca duerme"

Para los que busquen algo original destacamos el "New York Skyride simulator" es un simulador en el que el público puede tener la sensación de volar por New York a través de pantallas gigantes en forma de aventura sobre el cielo.
