Staten Island Museum

Great place, cool exhibits, very friendly staff!

We had visited the Staten Island Museum back when it was located adjacent to the Staten Island Borough Hall. Back then, it was very quirky and, to some degree, resembled a place that had been assembled from the contents of many private attics over time. There didn't seem to be a theme connecting everything except that the artifacts exhibited had some connection to Staten Island. Now, in its new location at Snug Harbor, the Staten Island Museum clearly displays the influence of the professional curatorial staff from the Smithsonian Institution.

I feel this museum has alot of potential, and the building is beautiful, the collection presented is very nice too. Admission is a bit high, especially for such a small collection but it is going for a good cause. A nice visit in a stunning setting. But it just seems that they need to tweak it a bit more to make return visits more desirable. a lower price for Staten island residents might help this happen.

Nice, cozy little place!

I attended the SI EDIBLES EVENT WITH FRIENDS. It was a very enjoyable day.
