Experience New York City on an unforgettable bus trip to visit two museums that explore the richness of different cultures and their unique contributions. Immerse yourself in the art, traditions, and perspectives that make this city truly extraordinary.
Our first destination is the Tenement Museum, a site composed of actual tenement buildings located on Orchard Street in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Step back in time as you take a guided tour of the meticulously recreated homes where immigrant and migrant families lived from the 1860s to the 1980s.
We continue on to The Rubin Museum of Art, where you can enjoy lunch at a nearby neighborhood restaurant. (Glencairn staff members will provide a list of dining options to suit every budget.) Then explore The Rubin’s captivating exhibitions at your own pace with a self-guided tour. Current highlights include Death Is Not the End, an exhibition that delves into the concepts of death and the afterlife through Tibetan Buddhism and Christianity. You can also visit the renowned Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room, an immersive installation beloved by many visitors.
Don’t miss out on this enriching experience. Reserve your spot for a day filled with discovery and inspiration.
