The Museum at FIT

If you have even the slightest interest in fashion, one of the best things to do in Chelsea is to check out the Museum at Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). The museum is full of unique garments, accessories and shoes along with constant rotating exhibits. I love coming here to check out vintage pieces and realizing how much clothing has changed over the years.

You’ll find displays of pieces from different points of history and some of the most outlandish clothes known to man. The best part about the museum? Admission is free! Spend some time wandering through the exhibits and who knows, it may even inspire you to switch up your own wardrobe.

The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) is worth visiting for fashion lovers in search of the best free museums in New York City. Solely dedicated to the art of fashion, it houses an impressive collection of clothing in a small space.

Showcasing garments and accessories from the 18th century to present, the museum explores the connection between fashion, culture and history. Better still, the works showcase iconic designers as well as avant-garde contemporary talents. It’s hard not to be inspired while visiting this gem of a museum.
