The American Folk Art Museum features the nation’s premier collection of indigenous folk art from the 18th and 19th centuries, including artifacts ranging from giant weather vanes to Amish quilts. The museum is located on 53rd Street and houses a gift shop, but those looking to buy gift items can also visit this branch location. The gift shop carries an extensive collection of catalogs and books on folk art and the decorative arts as well as a delightful array of gift items handcrafted in the folk tradition, such as jewelry, frames, toys, and cards.
