Single or coupled, there’s no better way to spend Valentine’s Day than taking in art – or oddities.
Art Tours
Since you already love art – why not learn about love through art!
New York Historical Society has “The Loved and The Lost Tour: Stories of Romance Through History” which takes you on a tour through: “sentimental, sad, and often funny historical stories of love and marriage, providing an insider’s look at how artists and craftsman over time have depicted love in unique and unexpected ways.”
Meanwhile, The Guggenheim invites visitors to their “Love and Art” to “visit multiple exhibitions and explore works that address the theme from various perspectives.”
For more off-beat offerings:
Time Out suggests you “check out the appointment-only Museum of Interesting Things, one of the few attractions in New York that still feels hidden. Set up a private tour of its collection of antique toys, bizarre inventions, ancient scientific equipment and other oddities—it’s definitely one to remember”
And Thrillist recommends bringing out the artist in you at Craft Jam’s “Make a Custom Leather Wallet” workshop.
“Carry handmade on-the-go! Upgrade your daily travel style with a custom wallet, complete with your hand-stamped initials. This chic accessory carries credits cards, business cards, cash – even a phone! Make it for yourself or as a gift.”
Celebrate this Valentine’s with art for your heart!
