It was closed although it was a weekday. No explanation on the door. Not fair.

Got there during a down time so I was the only visitor. Manager was out sick so I got a personal tour from Joseph, the President. What a treat! He was so knowledgeable, intriguing, and kind. They have some really interesting artifacts at this place. They aren't labeled super well, so the tour is a must. It's a small Museum, just one floor, but it packs in so many artifacts and history, including a threatening letter from the Black Hand to the family of the president of this place! It is inexpensive and will take you less than an hour. A must-do if you are traveling through Little Italy!

My husband is Italian-American originally from NYC, whose grandparents migrated to NYC in the 1920s. For me, this was a good experience to learn about the Italian culture and heritage, as well as the challenges many Italian Americans faced years ago as immigrants. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Also, many options for some fine Italian style dining. I fell in love with Little Italy, although my husband says its not what it used to be back in the day.

The Italian American Museum is dedicated to exploring the rich cultural heritage of Italy and Italian Americans by presenting the personal and civic struggles and achievements of Italian immigrants and their heirs. Collecting, preserving, and interpreting tangible artifacts, oral history, and cultural traditions, the Italian American Museum displays notable contributions. The building itself is a cultural and educational artifact - the historic Stable Bank which served Italians and Italian Americans. The Italian American Museum sponsors exhibitions, festivals, lectures, symposia, exhibitions, live performances, and travel programs focus on Italy and its global contributions.

Small museum with permanent & rotating exhibits documenting Italian American history & heritage. Address: 155 Mulberry St, New York, NY 10013

Great small Italian museum. Right in the heart of little Italy in Chinatown. Good things to see in the museum. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Atmosphere feels laid back and relax.

Great experience to see the Italian American story with photos and objects. A feeling similar to the NY Tenement Museum, because of the building and surroundings Little Italy. Make it part of the bigger picture by taking time to stroll on Mott St.

Italian American Disgrace it should be named…..this farce of a place says it's about preserving our culture???? Above this joke of a "museum" lives an 85 woman who has lived there her entire life…guess what folks..they want to EVICT HER!!!! They want to more then triple her rent…she is on a fixed income…..so out she goes????? Seriously this is what we would call a "desgraciad" in Sicilian dialect…..we will not be quiet about this and this should not happen…..

The Italian American Museum of New York City is a great place to learn firsthand about the history of Italian immigrants and Italian Americans, and its neighborhood of Little Italy is host to the City's best restaurants and cafes.

This museum is trying to evict an 85 year old woman who has lived in the building for 50 years. I am an Italian American and that is not my heritage and not how my kind respect their seniors. BOYCOTT THIS HORRIBLE INSTITUTION.

I can't believe it is temporarily closed. I really enjoyed myself last time I went a few years ago! Pleas open soon!

The new, bigger and impressive IAM will reopen in Spring 2023!!

I have been there a few tines Enjoyed every visit. It is run strictly from volunteers out of love, so hours are limited. I hope they can get more support and hours tours, etc. can be added. It is run on bare bones, I would like to see it grow/extended. Cannot wait to see Bruno SanMartino's belts, that was added, he was my grandma's pride and joy.
