Tenement Museum

Within this partially restored tenement building that housed nearly 7,000 working class immigrants in the mid-1800s, visitors learn about the struggles of the Lower East Side’s earliest émigrés. Guided tours, which are limited to 15 people and the only way to access the museum, range from a re-creation of immigrant apartments and shops to a tenement backyard and several street level businesses.
