Tenement Museum is most popular around 2 PM on Saturdays. Visitors usually stay up to 2 hours here. It's most quiet on Mondays.

The Tenement Museum tells the stories of working-class tenement residents, who moved to New York City from other countries and other parts of the country. Their work helped build the city and nation, and their stories help us understand our history. We share these stories through guided tours of recreated 19th and 20th-century tenement apartment exhibits, walking tours of the Lower East Side neighborhood, and virtual tours and programs.
