Such a cute museum! Perfect quick 45 minute or so activity. I do wish the gift shop had more options for actual dog items (treats, leashes, etc) but overall we had a great time!

Great location in Midtown, small but lovely tribute to man’s best friend. Loved the New Yorker magazine covers which are a nice contrast to the more serious art.
