12. The Loved and The Lost Tour of the NY Historical Society

Go behind-the-scenes at the New York Historical Society to uncover the sentimental, sad, and often funny historical stories of love and marriage hidden within the museum’s collections. Led by a museum docent, visitors will examine how artists and craftspeople over time have depicted love in unique and unexpected ways. Curator Edward O’Reilly, head of the manuscript department, will even show visitors historical love letters that reveal the personal costs and consequences of romance in a bygone era.

The tour will run from 4:30PM to 5:45PM on Thursday. Tickets can be purchased here.
