Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum
Specialty Museum · New York, New York
The only museum in the United States devoted exclusively to historic and contemporary DESIGN, in Andrew Carnegie's 64-room Fifth Avenue mansion of 1902 — which he asked to be "the most modest, plainest and roomiest house in New York" and which came with the first residential passenger lift and one of the first domestic steel frames in the country. It holds over 210,000 objects across three thousand years.
2 East 91st Street, New York, New York, 10128, United States
