Add - on Optional Excursions

Optional Neue Galerie private before-hours guided tour Friday morning Adults $45, Seniors (Ages 65+) $35 Visit this Museum gem when the galleries are closed to the public! Neue Galerie New York is a museum devoted to early twentieth-century German and Austrian art and design, displayed on two exhibition floors. The second-floor galleries are dedicated to art from Vienna circa 1900, exploring the special relationship that existed then between the fine arts and the decorative arts. The third-floor galleries feature German art representing various movements of the early twentieth century. Neue Galerie New York was conceived by two men who enjoyed a close friendship over a period of nearly thirty years: art dealer and museum exhibition organizer Serge Sabarsky and businessman, philanthropist, and art collector Ronald S. Lauder. Sabarsky and Lauder shared a passionate commitment to Modern German and Austrian art, and dreamed of opening a museum to showcase the finest examples of this work. After Sabarsky died in 1996, Lauder carried on the vision of creating Neue Galerie New York as a tribute to his friend. Transportation included. Minimum of 10 participants required. Downtown Manhattan TourSaturday morning ($35 per person) This tour will be conducted by one of New Yorks finest licensed tour guides. Journey via private bus to the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan. Visit the 9/11 Memorial which consists of two reflecting pools set in the footprints of the original Twin Towers surrounded by a plaza of trees, around which the names of the victims are inscribed in bronze. See St. Pauls Chapel, which miraculously survived unscathed, despite its location directly opposite Ground Zero. Visit the Winter Garden, destroyed by the collapse of the World Trade Center, it has been restored to its original beauty and has become a major symbol of New Yorks recovery after 9/11.
