Art Deco City: New York Postcards from the Leonard A. Lauder Collection

Now Open

Art Deco City highlights the impact that colorful, mass-produced postcards had in establishing landmarks like Radio City Music Hall, the Empire State Building, and Rockefeller Center as international icons. Pairing these sought-after souvenirs with an array of images, historic artifacts, film footage, and hands-on interactive experiences, the exhibition uncovers the Art Deco elements that shaped New York's image in the popular imagination.
