Truly one of my most memorable museum experiences....

Truly one of my most memorable museum experiences. Whether being greeted by a magnificent Renoir, enchanted by an ultimate - rare Chardin worthy of the Louvre, or humbled by a famous Rembrandt selfie... I had to sit down.

On 5th av. between 70th and 71st., across from Central Park, the mansion looks a lot like all the other mansions, here on the upper east side.

But If you love rich deep dark wood panelling, outmatched only by the Hearst mansion, OR if you love gorgeous furniture, marble, glass, OR anything that is the best of the best: go visit. This might just save you a trip to France.
