New York Museum

The New York Museum was a short-lived dime museum at 210 Bowery in Manhattan, New York, operating from the early 1880s to 1896. Managed by a Louis Hickman,[1] it was refused a licence in 1883,[2] and investigated for gambling and child prostitution in 1884, but remained in business. In 1889 it became the Fairyland Dime Museum and closed in 1896.[3]
