This is an amazing place to visit in NYC. Its so perfectly meditative and the works of art are deep and meaningful. It glows with a sense of power that is subtle and beautiful. The art is so spiritual and yet connective to even our current times and states of mind. Its a real taste of a time and place in humanity that still flows forth, but quietly.The weekly music concerts are temporarily postponed, and I cant wait until they start again.

Very quite neighborhood , little cozy museum. Not that much people, but stunning pictures , it would just like as its when I traveled to Shangri-La area like China and Bhutan , got real soul of mountains. I can stay in front of these beautiful panting and Channing , just so beautiful.

If you are striving for spirituality, these paintings will let you feel extraordinary inspiration. Like me.

Small but very cozy and beautiful museum. I’m glad I found this museum :)

Such a beautiful place with such beautiful art. There was hardly anyone there when I attended on a Wednesday afternoon, and I felt so at peace, alhamdulillah. The staff was kinda and accommodating and the atmostphere was truly wonderful. My new favorite museum. I knew within minutes.

When you call a place hidden gem, this is the exact kind of it. The building which consisted of three exhibiting floors is such a precious and fetching marble itself. The entire space greets you extremely intimately and closely as if you are invited to someones house rather than a museum. The collection--mostly by Nicholas Roerich--feels as the embodiment of the beloved humanitarianist before artist or intellectual notable. What a beautiful place. Would love to come back again in the near future.

Small quaint museum, perfect for visiting if youre nearby during exploring the north Broadway

What a beautiful collection... FREE TO SEE!!! UFO TV on YouTube has a great mystery of a story to tell about this man. He was truly special and rumour has it that he carried some very important items to America.

Impressed by this place. The canvas and things took me away to another era and another geography. Worth to experience .

Prepare to be mesmerized and mentally pushed to drop every single responsibility you have just to move to the mountains..... start a nomadic lifestyle..... travel all across asia and paint every day. Live free at soul. KIDDING aside (or am I ) this is a simply inspirational museum dedicated to an inspirational Russian artist and person. SURPRISINGLY BIG, bigger than his museum in Moscow, the exhibition spreads across three floors and covers pretty much anything you would expect if you are familiar with Roerich. Colourful landscapes painted in bright tempura that jump out at you and beckon you to leave your old life behind. Fave artist hands down.

I’ve lived in New York ten years and didn’t know that this place existed. I’m so glad I eventually discovered it. The works here are sublime. The quiet space feels like a friend’s intimate, glamorous apartment, which is ideal for viewing these pieces. Truly a gem on the Upper West Side that I would recommend to anyone that loves art, spirituality, and Russian culture.

One of the best museums in NYC, because Roerich was such a great artist.

Small but great museum to spend an hour or two. Beautiful, hypnotic, bold artwork from a painter I had never heard of before.

I love small museums well curated, and I love Roerich beyond measure. Visiting with my daughter was a bucket list event, and being in the presence of these works was amazing.

Beautiful free museum with the wonderful works by Nicholas Roerich and free classical music concerts on Sundays

Nicholas Roerich Museum is a little hidden gem. His landscape paintings are beautiful and the collection is very well arranged.

Great experience! I loved this museum, it has a very impressive collection of Roerich’s works!

Absolutely underrated even I make it a 5 star experience. The paintings are majestic .

One of the best collection of paintings depicting mighty Himalayas done by Roerich are exhibited here in a very homely place. Though not very big in size the gallery is full of mesmerizing works by the renowned artist. Art lovers, Himalaya lovers and mysticism lovers do not miss this tiny little collection in a miss if you wink place. Timings are narrow and entry is by voluntary donation. I am glad i got an opportunity to see this museum.

A unique little museum, definitely worth a fifteen minute visit...

It is very interesting and impressive museum. Very educated. People are nice. It is free

Beautiful little museum with his paintings of Himalayas. First time to learn about this artist and his work. Definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby.

An amazing little/known spot of bliss in Manhattan. A place for which the word transcendent is meant.

A gem! Tucked away on the upper west side, this lovely home turned museum offers a serene & welcome change from the bustle of most NYC museums. You feel like youve stuck your head through the clouds at 14k feet on 107th street.

Unique, intimate, beautiful museum with interesting paintings + collected artwork by Nicholas Roerich. Staff was lovely, very knowledgeable and informative

Little gem, one of my favorite artists. Free entry!

Roerich one of the remarkable artists of 20th century. This museum keeps his work and inheritance alive and exacable for people. Planning our next visit for some events that will take place in this museum!

A must see museum, cosy and energezed, with 150 vibrant paintings and free concerts on Sun.

Fantastic Esoteric Art

The paintings are so touching.And I love the calm and quiet place.

Small and hidden museum, but with a wonderful collection, which is absolutely worthwhile to visit.

One if my favorite museums in the world. Has a unique collection of beautiful masterpieces by Nicholas Roerich, an outstanding Russian artist and philosopher. This museum also hosts classical music concerts on Sundays during wintertime.

Fantastic museum with rear masterpieces.

Lovely place, unique art.

Quaint museum with beautiful art by philosopher and artist N. Roerich. Worth the trip and somewhat near the Natural History museum, so you can combine it!

I almost never post reviews, but I had to because of how lovely my experience here was. A very warm, inviting place that will leave you amazed.

Its small but not so bad. Is nice though.

What a hidden gem! So cool and interesting. I was pleasantly surprised. Roerichs art is so unusual, the more you study the pieces the more you see, amazing. Also, the gallery is so relaxed, sit and enjoy.

An amazing museum, similar to Frick gallery, but more intimate. It feels like a real home of an artist rather than a museum. You get to be so close to the real masterpieces that fill the space. As a big fan of Roerich’s artistic style, I find the whole experience magical. And small concerts on Sunday (free btw) will take you back some 150 years adding to this experience.

One of my favorite museums in the city! Unbelievable paintings and colors; also, wonderful staff. I love their little shop downstairs with Roerichs posters- they make a great gift!

If you can, visit. Quiet, divine and magnificent

That place is for your soul, for you spirit. Let it feel. Dont speak, dont think, just watch and feel.

Wonderful museum, well worth checking out!

Out with my wife and son on a recent sunny day and my wife decides to surprise me.At lunch she calls the Roerich museum and asks if the museum is accessible and is told yes. She asks again, specifying that we have an infant in the stroller. She is told, yes, there is an elevator.So, we walk over and are met in the lobby (after carrying the stroller with our sleeping son up the exterior stairs) and told we should leave our sleeping child in the stroller, in the lobby.When my wife mentions that we called, moments ago, a call is made and someone will come get you.We are walked down a narrow corridor and shown to an elevator. Just as we are getting in a gaunt man starts berating the women assisting us.Not talking to me, or my wife mind you.This is wrong, no, no, they can leave the kid in the lobby.Im a fan of the artist. Ive worked with the foundation that brought some of his works on a recent tour... would never set foot here again. Disgusting people.Takeaways: The building is five stories. Stairs only. If you call ahead, assume the person youre speaking to doesnt know what theyre talking about. Plan accordingly.

A pilgrimage to one of the modern masters. The Mother of the World on the second floor is not to be missed in NYC. Pick up a pin and support Pax Cultura.

Great exhibition and museum of Nikolai Roerich. Must see for all ages.

One of my absolute favorites!!! Very polite and informative staff! Also there’s an amazing beautiful one-of-a-kind atmosphere there, that followed me long after the actual visit)))

Free concert at Friday

For someone who likes an art it is a place to visit. Free admission, voluntary donations.

Fantastic museum for those that have eyes to see & ears to hear. I highly recommend it for a traveling man searching for answer.

Master of mountains. Its a wonder this gifted artist is not more famous. Worth visiting for sure.

I’m so glad this is here in NYC. A well planned space with a great collection. Knowledgeable and very kind staff.

Great collection of Nicholas Roerichs paintings. On the weekends musicians perform at the museum.. I would definitely a visit.

All of you need to come visit this great egg tempera painter. Its a visit of a life time

Transformative

A hidden gem in NYC on the upper west side ~ the paintings speak to the heart.

Excellent Esoteric Museum, good place to admire the great work of a recognized Russian painter.

Lovely little gallery, a treasure

Absolutely amazing museum in the heart of Manhattan. A must visit!

Incredible NYC treasure...

Some of his most transcendent pieces on display At this quaint townhouse - turned museum. A superbartist and worth a visit

What a treasure in the uws! Its three stories of delicious art, all for free!

A hidden gem across from Riverside Park. Beautiful collection of works from this famed Russian artist

Most incredible artistry I may have ever seen.

Small yet inspiring museum.The music of their concerts is in an intimate atmosphere and by unimposing wonderful performers. My husband and l enjoyed them tremendouslyRina and Moshe Schmidt

I love the Nicholas Roerich Museum. If you are a fan of beautiful, spiritual and mystical paintings, this place should be visited. I found out about Nicholas Roerich through articles connected through one of my favorite authors, Torkom Saraydarian. I love the works of art because they have spiritual significance, and they all tell a story. One of my favorite pieces is the mother of the world. Its a painting of the divine mother surrounded by angelic beings and coated in beautiful tones of blue and violet colors. Depicted with an energy of light emanating from her head and body. Stunning!This place has been on my bucket list of things to do, so I was happy to be able to visit it while in New York.Theres also a store inside the museum where you can purchase prints of Nicholas Roerichs paintings as well as his books. The volunteers were also friendly and very helpful considering its free entry (or a $5 donation).Be sure to check it out!

A lovely hidden gem in upper west side!

This small and obscure museum houses the amazing works of Nicholas Roerich, a Russian mystic who painted dramatic and colorful Himalayan landscapes.

Small but lovely. Definitely worth an hour or two.

Small museum with the work of a Russian painter who spent a lot of time in Nepal. An interesting collection.

Pleasant atmosphere, very knowledgeable.

Beautiful paintings. Theres English audio guide.
