Undiscovered New York:
An Inside Look Through the Eyes of Its Artists
October 11 – 15, 2021
Dear National Trust Traveler:
A city of immigrants, innovators, and dreamers, New York is a magical destination with millions of fascinating
stories and untold secrets. Yet few travelers ever experience the thrilling diversity of its creative community. In
October 2021, with a backdrop of autumn leaves and crisp air, join the National Trust to discover this historic city
from a revelatory new perspective—in the company of its leading creators, curators, and exhibitors.
Over four days, you will encounter a range of exciting creative voices who will awaken new insights into how New
York’s history and art intersect with local culture. Go behind the scenes of the city’s cultural institutions, studios, and galleries
with expert guidance. This tour is notable for its level of rare access. You will enjoy an inside look at an art conservation
laboratory to witness meticulous restoration work firsthand, and delight in an in-depth tour of a famous auction house.
Begin with a private tour and special reception at the Museum of the City of New York, with its beautifully curated
exhibitions documenting the city’s history and character. Delve into sublime works by artists of African descent at the
Studio Museum in Harlem, and meet exhibitors at Soho’s groundbreaking Drawing Center, home to splendid historical
works. In an exclusive, before-hours visit, browse the Klimt collection at the Neue Galerie New York. Conclude with a
curator-led, behind-the-scenes tour of the most famous New York museum of them all, The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Along the way, enjoy enriching discussions with
artists at the peak of their craft, festive receptions, and
a vibrant musical performance. I hope that you join the
