The Roerich museum
On 319 W 107th street you will find the Roerich museum. Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947) was born and educated in St. Petersburg, Russia.
His paintings in the museum covers the full scope of his artistic output, from ancient Slavic, mythic and archaeological subjects to breathtaking Himalayan landscapes and religious themes that span the spiritual traditions of the world (words by Jaqueline Decter with the N.R museum).
It was my boyfriend who introduced me to the museum as he is a big Roerich fan. The building looks like an old villa, very nice. It is worth a visit.
Museum opening hours: 2-5 pm Tue-Sun, closed Mon.
