A museum is a building or institution that houses and cares for a collection of artifacts and other objects of scientific, artistic, or historical importance and makes them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary. Most large museums are located in major cities throughout the world and more local ones exist in smaller cities, towns and even the countryside. Early museums began as the private collections of wealthy individuals, families or institutions of art and rare or curious natural objects and artifacts. The museums of ancient times, such as the Musaeum of Alexandria, would be equivalent to a modern graduate institute. From Wikipedia under the

Q. My friend and I plan on traveling to New York soon, and we are focusing the trip on visiting the three major art museums in the city: The Met, MOMA, and the Guggenheim. We are totally ignorant of the locations of the different sections of New York, so what area should we book a hotel in so that we are in the best location to easily visit all three of those museums?

About eight blocks from the Met. MOMA can be reached by a short ride. You Can go to Lexington Ave at 86th street to take the #6 train down to 51st street. It is a shorter walk on both ends if you take the bus. Go to Fifth Ave and get the #1,2 ,3 or 4 to 53rd street. Turn right on 53rd and you will find the museum on that block.
