Great location in Midtown, small but lovely tribute to man’s best friend. Loved the New Yorker magazine covers which are a nice contrast to the more serious art.

What To Expect

Ready for an adventure that’s part gallery stroll, part tail-thumping joyfest? The AKC Museum of the Dog isn’t your average museum—it’s a love letter to dogs, written in oil paint, interactive screens, and centuries of canine devotion. You’ll meet regal hounds in gilded frames, discover which breed you’d be in a past life (spoiler: it might be a Basset Hound), and even try your hand at training a virtual pup. From fine art to fur-real fun, this is the only place in New York where barking up the right tree is fully encouraged.
What to expect media
Dogs are perfect. And a whole museum dedicated to them? Even better. With over 1,700 dog-themed works of art, rotating exhibitions, and a prime Midtown location just steps from Grand Central, the Museum of the Dog is a treat for the eyes and the soul. It’s the kind of place you didn’t know you needed—until you're deep in a gallery, making heart eyes at a 19th-century portrait of a scruffy terrier and wondering how soon you can come back.
