Mmuseumm.

Worth it, says Antonina. Mmuseumm is a tiny museum (36 square feet!) in Tribeca housed in a converted elevator shaft, offering exhibits on random modern artifacts.

  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Mmuseumm is a tiny museum (36 square feet!) in Tribeca housed in a converted elevator shaft, offering exhibits on random modern artifacts. The museum is open from Thursday to Sunday during the spring and summer, but you can peek through a window 24/7 to glimpse the changing displays at the unusual New York City museum.

Exhibits rotate, showcasing everything from personal possessions to homemade weapons, all designed to spark conversation about the curious world around us (the museum makes no effort to tell you what to think). They call it “object journalism,” and a quirky, quick pit-stop while visiting all the weird museums in NYC.
