The City Reliquary

MuseumLocals' pick

A storefront community museum that began in 2002 in founder Dave Herman's apartment window: Statue of Liberty figurines, a vintage subway turnstile, old seltzer bottles, a Jackie Robinson and Brooklyn Dodgers shrine, World's Fair souvenirs and antique dentures washed up at Dead Horse Bay. History told through the things New Yorkers kept.
