Unlike all of New York City’s flashy and well-known museums, this
particular exhibition space is grungy, quirky and easy to miss. Located
in an abandoned freight elevator on the edge of the Tribeca neighborhood
in Manhattan, Museum measures
just 80 square feet and is covered by a pair of unmarked, heavy iron
doors when it’s closed. It contains collections of objects just as
unconventional as the space itself.
As stark and unfussy as its name, Museum is intentionally hard to find.
It’s only open to visitors on the weekend, but you can peer through a
series of viewing windows to get a look at the contents 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. Photographer Garrett Ziegler captured these images of the space and its humorous, oddball display pieces.
