New York is home to some of the best Museums in the country and browsing their collections of art and historic artifacts is, for many, a favorite Thing to do in New York. The city is also home to some lesser-known Museums including those that are rather quirky. During your next visit to The Milford NYC – A Times Square Hotel pay a visit to some of these peculiar NYC Museums. The Milford NYC welcomes out-of-town Museum visitors with impressive special offers.

Waterfront Museum

Where: 290 Conover Street Brooklyn, NY 11231

Call: 718-624-4719

The exhibits aren’t what make this Museum unusual – it is where the Museum is housed that earns it a spot on this list. The Museum is housed on a 1914 barge. Visitors will have the opportunity to see the living spaces of both crew and captain and to get a sense of what daily life was like for these men.

Museum

Where: Cortlandt Alley between Franklin Street and White Street

Sure, the name is quirky, but that is nothing compared to what you’ll find on display. It seems there is no rhyme ...
... or reason to the exhibits. Instead, you will find an array of weird and, sometimes, funny items such as misspelled food labels, bulletproof backpacks for kids, a collection of tip jars from around NYC and more.

Coney Island Museum
