Talk:List of museums and cultural institutions in New York City

message: Does "June, 2003" in the caption on the photo of the Main Branch of the New York Public Library indicate when the photo was taken? If so, why are there no such dates in parentheses given on captions for the other photos? If not, what does the date mean? I didn't delete the date because I don't know why it's there. I hope someone explains.

Viturally always a date in a photo caption indicates when it was taken. The reason why so many photos don't have them is because many people simply don't include them (or don't know themselves) when they add a photo to an article. In some cases the date is relatively important, and others not so. You might as well leave it there unless you find it especially bothersome for some reason. --Jleon 20:31, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Mel Etitis marked this article for wikifying because of it's lack of an introduction, explanation and/or summary. The wikify tag didn't seem to fit well, as the article is well linked and categorized. I went with the context tag as the best alternative. The expand tag might have been interpreted as expansion of the list only. -- Kjkolb 21:44, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't strenuously object, though I find the "wikify" tage useful for its links to "how-to" material. --Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 23:09, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, that link is useful. It just seemed confusing, to me, to have the wikify tag. Here's the link anyway: Wikipedia:Guide to layout. Perhaps it should be added to other relevant cleanup tags. -- Kjkolb 07:07, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I don't like the Natural History section.  It's a hodge-podge of things, most of which aren't really natural history at all.  In fact, most of them aren't even museums.  Any suggestions on how to re-arrange things? -- RoySmith (talk) 21:57, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that the grouping is good, and the only change necessary is a renaming at most. If we split it into natural history and Zoos and Botanical Gardens, then it would be a little too complex, in my mind.  Your point is generally valid, but rearranging it seems strange since most other places are cultural or artisitic. Maybe "Science and Nature" is a better title. I would like to rearrange the "Sites of historical significance" section. Donbas 22:46, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

message: While I don't work directly for any of the museums, my work in cultural programming means I have access to a lot of information (all citable from reliable sources. I'm not sure how I found this list, but I'm steadily working on it. Not the physical list but the museums/galleries, etc. So far I've created Bronx Museum of the Arts and cleaned up/expanded the Dahesh Museum. I think all here are notable enough to have at least a stub, but I want to expand them to the greatest extent possible. The only work I plan to do on this page is name tweaking, if necessary to clean up redirects and disambiguate, and of course add any that many not be here.  :) TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 02:49, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Strictly speaking by the current name, "museums and cultural institutions" without addressing the name issue at the moment, are national parks either? What about historic sites that do not operate as a museum or cultural center? On the name isse, I don't think it's a possible name at all. There is no way possible to list all the museums and cultural institutions in the city. I think even listing the museums alone is daunting. I definitely think other attractions (zoos, botanic gardens, parks etc.) need to be listed elsewhere. TravellingCari 02:37, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: One idea

message: I think it's time to take a serious look at this list.   Putting it into a table would greatly improve it, as would deciding on a focus for it.  Museums are relatively easy to judge, but cultural institutions range far and wide.  The Bowery Ballroom is a great music hall, but why not Arlene's Grocery?  IMHO, we need to limit this list in some way. dm (talk) 19:40, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: 100% agreed. This has beem on my to-do list for some time, but I know I'm not going to get to it. it needs some fine-tuning and splitting to clarify. StarM 00:58, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ok, check out what I did with the category of :Category:Museums in New York City and :Category:Museums in Manhattan. dm (talk) 10:28, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As I just said on your talk, I love it. Good call. I'm not sure I understand "society museums" but that may just be me so I'm not worried. Good job StarM 20:37, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Asia Society, Japan Society, they all claim to have small museums and at least in the case of the Japan society, they're right, it feels more like a museum than a gallery.  But it's not just art, it's artifacts, etc.  So, easier to put them in something called society museums.  I'm sure someone else will eventually come up with a better idea, which will be easy to implement since it's all separated.  We still have to decide what to do with this particular article though.  I'm really tempted to do the same breakup dm (talk) 01:05, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Gotcha, guess I'm just not familiar with the term. I've always heard them called "ethnic museums" which is about as un-PC as you can get. I think the article needs to be broken up to something manageable, just don't know what the best way is. StarM 00:32, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Would someone who understands the formatting mind adding UrbanGlass link? I'm working on the article, but I don't want to break the table to add it. Thanks! Also, there's an omnibus listing for Czech Centres, but I think all there is to say about the NY one is already in Bohemian National Hall. Thoughts? StarM 03:00, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

message: as they're at least minorly controversial, leaving these here for discussion:
* Should ICP now be noted as the Bowery and/or should Midtown be removed as it has closed in Times Square
::The ICP is still open in Midtown.  The location can change after the move in 2016.Jllm06 (talk) 16:52, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  (I didn't think you meant the extra space, feel free to revert me if you did). ICP closed in January 2015 when their lease expired. Their exhibits are in Southhampton and Governors Island per their site and upcoming will also be off site. Thanks on the others you noted below. StarM 03:26, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
