Not the most expansive gallery space but they pack a lot of great stuff in there! If the exhibits are at all in your sphere of interest (IE, design and creation of objects) it is a great additional stop along with the NYHS or the MNH! Not for kids though, certainly!

Cool little gallery on the UWS, right off the 86th stop. Front staff person was super nice and very helpful. There were 3 small exhibits across 3 floors, took about and hour to go through. A must visit if you're from the area. It is a hidden gem

Great small gallery. I enjoyed the exhibition "Threads of Power: Lace from the Textilmuseum St. Gallen". I learned that St. Gallen was and still is a major center for lace making.
