Visiting every museum in New York City

WNYC News | Dec 30, 2023

If you had to name every museum in town, how far would you get? Most people can name The Met, MoMA, the Museum of Natural History, the Whitney, maybe the Brooklyn Museum. But it turns out there are over 170 museums in New York City. And Jane August is visiting every single one. She's documenting that journey on TikTok.

Jane joins Weekend Edition host David Furst to explain why she took on this challenge and to highlight a few of the lesser known spots on her list.
