My friend and I went to the Cooper Hewitt Museum at 2 East 91st Street.The design museum is part of the Smithsonian. Compared with the bigger museums, it’s downright cozy. Botanical Gardens demonstrates nature through the display of thirteen botanical models.This also includes a display of 18th century decorative arts. 

Do you like doll houses? I do. There’s a modern interpretation on the third floor. Imagine a New York City building outfitted like a doll house. It’s wonderful and it’s based on an actual building.

We ended our visit by going to the museum’s cafe and taking our lunch into the quiet, green garden.

How’s this for a doll’s house?
The doll’s house is based on this apartment house.
