Staten Island Museum,

1000 Richmond Ter, Staten Island, NY 10301, United States

"Our experience was top notch! It has so many interesting exhibits. Looking forward to the tribute to Sea View Hospital's "Black Angels" exhibit on Jan. 25, 2024! These Black nurses are unsung heroes, this exhibit will be inspirational and educational!"

"Beautiful small museum. Impeccably kept and easy to explore and accessible. On the second floor, the Staten Island SEEN art exhibit was very good. From their website: “The exhibition traces the borough’s unique history and landscape from the 17th century to the present.” Plenty of parking right behind the museum. Lots of bathrooms. $8 entrance fee."

"Very nice museum staff is very friendly learned about Staten Island the history the stuff they had was very nice a great place to visit. They weren't open yet and they told us they open at 11a they came for us to tell us they were open they are accessible to the handicapped a lot of history a great place to visit"

"We went when a Korean exhibition was going on. Very nice -especially kid friendly. I recommend taking mass transit (we took ferry from NYC and walked our way to the museum). Very nice experience -too bad you can't post videos here, there was an epic violin-piano duo who were extra awesome"

"The Staten Island Museum is one of NYC's hidden gems. The museum's collection is eclectic and contains important art and artifacts. It has a large collection of natural science objects, including a major entomology collection, an art collection which spans centuries, and a history collection/archives. The original museum is on Stuyvesant Place near the Staten Island Ferry. The "new" museum is on the grounds of Snug Harbor Cultural Center. It is beautiful. There are a number of galleries, including contemporary art, painting (which includes Hudson River School painter Cropsey), and a delightful Treasure Box gallery. The Treasure Box contains varied objects and art from the museum's collection. It is so cool. There is also a history display, which includes wall panels showing the progression of Staten Island from farmland to city. It is located in the auditorium, where programming such as lectures, performances, and literary programming takes place. There is fun programming at the museum, too, for adults and children. I can't say enough about this museum. It is handicapped accessible via side entrance, a short bus ride (S40) from the Staten Island Ferry."
