Suggestions for Museum near Red Hook, Brooklyn

Experiences • August 15, 2012This place is neat! If you're up for the trek to Red Hook, Thurs. evenings and Sat. afternoons, cruise this little floating museum for free. It's been docked on Pier 44 since the mid-'90s.

Aaron B. • August 4, 2016The old cars are the best. They did a nice job with the adverts in each to reflect the times. Totally worth the $7. I'd say this is a definite underrated museum in New York.

James C. • February 9, 2015Really good staff and exhibits are totally worth it. Check it out.

Jesse A. • August 28, 2017Really wild to see all the history. Definitely worth a visit.

Quintein • December 16, 2018Beautiful museum really puts into perspective the events that day. I recommend going solo and spending up to 2 hours there. The gift shop is incredibly tacky for such a sensitive location.
