Of the many museums of New York, there is a small, almost hidden, gem of a museum on the upper west side, The Roerich Museum. Setup in a house on 107th St, between Broadway and Riverside Dr., it houses a very representative collection of Roerich's paintings, books and a few portraits from his son, Svetoslav Roerich. Those Himalayan scenes rich in colour always leave a deep impression on my mind. The paintings have a way of occupying our minds, peace and quiet of the mountains seem to be around us.Museum is free for all, and is open from 2PM to 5PM Tuesday - Sunday. It is closed on Mondays.
