About
In January 2006, The City Reliquary moved to 370 Metropolitan Avenue, a storefront only a few blocks from its original location. Its grand opening on April 1, 2006 featured a ribbon cutting by Marty Markowitz, who at the time was Brooklyn Borough President. The museum’s permanent collection includes Statue of Liberty postcards, terracotta fragments of landmark buildings, subway tokens, geological core samples, paint chips from the L train platform, a “very old shovel,” and countless other artifacts that tell unique stories of New York City’s past. Rotating exhibitions of community collections celebrate the archival work of New York collectors, and temporary exhibitions showcase vital, yet often overlooked stories of the city.
Every year, generous donations from patrons like you help us to continue developing our collections. Average time to experience the entire collection and current exhibit 30 - 45 minutes.
