Tenement Museum (Lower East Side Tenement Museum)

The Tenement Museum at 103 Orchard Street operates in a restored five-story tenement building on the Lower East Side that housed successive waves of immigrant families. The museum's guided apartment tours recreate domestic interiors and interpret immigrant experiences from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The organization began preserving the building and offering public tours in the late 20th century and has expanded to include additional historic properties related to immigrant history.
