Taking it all in on Museum Row - NYC

I am an Art novice, so if you ask me to tell you the difference between a Rembrandt and Matisse a puzzled look may come across in the wrong manner (however maybe by now, I could hold my own...hmm). But my art fascination comes from the servicescape - or simply being surrounded by creative energy. I love the architecture which art is housed and the knowledge one can gain. So whilst in NYC take a stroll on Museum row, visit the FIT museum and the many others which decorate New York's beautiful landscape.
