In 2019, the American Kennel Club moved the original Museum of the Dog—formerly located at the New York Life Building—closer to its headquarters where it can live beside the AKC’s library and archives. At this exhibition comprising more than 180 sculptures and paintings of four-legged furballs, guests are able to view canine-related artifacts on display and interact with a digital “Meet the Breeds” table, which provides info on all 193 AKC recognized dog breeds. Other tech-savvy highlights—like a photobooth that tells you which dog breed looks the most like you—should appeal to dog lovers as well. Rotating exhibitions have spotlighted everything from Irish breeds to Presidential pups.
