Museum Mile

After turning down 5th Ave, we come to "Museum Mile". First we encounter the Museum of the City of New York Next comes the Museo del Barrio

On one side of 5th avenue we see the Conservatory garden -- a stately holdover from the days of Victorian propriety in New York. . . . . . . . and on the other side of the Avenue we have the Carnegie Mansion -- a reminder that the Victorian days in New York were the days when the city was ruled by the robber barons.

Nestled amongst some of the most expensive real estate in the entire world is the Guggenheim Museum. Here you can see the museum through the windscreen of the bus.

One of the few buildings in Central Park itself, The Metropolitan Museum houses one of the most fabulous collections of art in the entire world. Alongside the Met, artists and artist-wannabees sell their wares on the sidewalk to the crowds.

Across the street from the Met, between two classic buildings, is this strange modernistic entrance to a luxury mid-block apartment building designed by H. I. Feldman. The building itself is visible between the two classic buildings. This entrance lends the building's residents the prestige of a Fifth Avenue address. After visiting the Met, we'll get back on the bus to head further downtown.

Return to the top of Central Park. Continue the M4 bus tour.
