Museum of Emigration Tenement

The Tenement Museum is a real New York communal apartment, preserved as it was 100 years ago, where the first immigrants lived. The museum is located in a five-storey building and occupies all 5 floors. The interior here has never changed, as has the full atmosphere of the past era.

Visit the Tenement Museum is worth at least to see what New York was like a hundred years ago. This house has minimal amenities, which are called “tenement”. The main tenants of this house were immigrants. Today, the area where the museum is located is very prestigious in New York.

The Tenement Museum building at 97 Orchard Street was empty from the mid-30s until the 1980s, when New York City history enthusiasts bought out $750,000. Thanks to them, a unique museum was created.
