Neue Galerie

Something else to add to the itinerary of your next New York trip: the Neue Galerie, a museum dedicated to the art of Vienna around 1900. Housed in a gilded age mansion on 5th Avenue near 86th Street, it sounds like just the sort of museum I enjoy: not too big, and with a clear focus that shapes not just the art displayed but the setting. I find the picture above more tempting than any photo of an art museum I have seen in years. The Times has a slide show of a new exhibit.
