    This museum was so interesting, not only because of the contents, but because it's located in a fort, inside SUNY Maritime College; so we learned about the fort (or got to see it, anyway), the college (Active classrooms are inside the Museum.), and of course...More

    I visited the museum on a weekend and it was a lovely break from the hustle and bustle of the city. I took an express bus from Manhattan which left me off a short walk from the museum and the neighborhood through which I walked...More

    My boyfriend and I took a spur of the moment visit to this museum today, and it was fantastic. We were surprised that it was so empty. This museum is a unique, interesting and beautiful place that more people should take advantage of seeing. It...More
