New-York Historical Society

Founded on the great collections of early 19th-century philanthropists like Luman Reed, Robert L. Stuart, and Thomas Jefferson Bryant, highlights from the museum's collection of over 2,500 early American paintings are on display on the second floor. Highlighting the original collectors rather than the individual pieces, you will see works by Thomas Cole, Gilbert Stuart, and Charles Wilson Peale, as well as the massive Le Tricorne by Pablo Picasso, which dominates the exhibition hall.

The Historical Society is home to 132 Tiffany Lamps from the collection of Egon Neustadt, the world's premier collector of Tiffany Glass and there have always been samples on display somewhere in the museum. In 2017 the museum opened a gorgeous new gallery to place the lamps on permanent display and tell the story of the men and (mainly) women who contributed to these iconic pieces.
