I walked into this small museum on a Saturday afternoon as it was in the neighborhood. I was amazed by this artist, both his many travels and the paintings he created during his lifetime. The use of colors and depictions of environments were great. This place is free to visit, so it's definitely worth a visit. More

Really cool and a history of someone I had never heard about before. The man was well before his time. His entire family had multiple talents. Art,, archeology, writer and the reason Art is preserved in times of war today. It's free but I gave a $5 donation. I ended up buying 3 prints for my house. Love his art.

This gallery is a rare gem in NYC. It has a great collection of paintings of one of the greatest Russian artists Nicholas Roerich. The paintings depict the Himalayas and transport you into a magical and spiritual world. Best part is that it’s free! A great place to spend an afternoon. More

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.

Highly recommend this Free Museum if you're a fan of landscapes and Roerich's work. Definitely a hidden treasure in the neighborhood. Great prints from Nicholas Roerich available for purchase as well. The colors are far more vivid in person. Museum is 3-levels. More

This museum is beautiful and so interesting! My grandma brought me here and I am so glad to have gotten the chance to see it! Everyone inside is very kind and welcoming, and the intricate artworks are unlike anything I have ever seen :) More

This is an amazing place to visit in NYC. It's 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

It's a nice cozy exhibit of an artist's work from Russia. The work and interest of the artist seems to meld ideas of many religions both west and east. Most of the work is very technically interesting because much it seems very sculpted or

Absolutely phenomenal museum … so intimate and well-curated. It hurt my soul that it was free and so wonderfully put together, but it is nearly unknown even to native New Yorkers such as myself. Please set aside 30 minutes to tour this gem!

View the paintings from afar, and you will feel like you are right there in the mountains with the artist. Amazing views, vibrant color, a nice collection worth visiting. And the entrance is free. A few blocks from Columbia University. More

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

This is a fantastic museum. What a collection! A cozy setting not far from the Columbia University, easily accessible by the subway (red line), it's a must visit for everyone fascinated by Nicolas Roerich's works or anyone interested in

Interesting collection of the works of Nicholas Roerich a man of many talents and unique perspective. The collection is set in a beautiful brownstone. One of the pearls you find in New York city if you venture off the beaten track. More

Underrated hidden gem. Free admission, interesting paintings and mosaics that will transport you to the most amazing places in Asia. I wish there was a little bit more clear information on Mr. Roerich up front, it was sort of sprinkled

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.

Pleasant travel (right off the 2 train). Great food around the location. Curated brilliantly. Calm interior. Take 1hour 30min max visit. Terrific museum store. MUST VISIT for tourists AND locals!!! More

We are so happy to have found this museum! Inguna at the front desk is such a gem. If you have trouble getting up the stairs, do not come to this museum. We visited three times in one week! More

Underrated artist and museum. Roerich was well known in his day (first half of 20th century) but not very well known today. His works are symbolic, imbued with spirituality and presage a

This is a place of concentration of beauty, inspiration and spirit. Thank you so much. I was so excited and happy to visit Nicolas Roerich Museum. More

Love this place. All Nicholas Roerich's paintings are masterpieces that have inner and outer light. No pictures can express this light. Must see live!

Amazing small museum, full of life and color that you can only find in Roerich's paintings! A must in NY. Bring cash, as it is donation based.

Great russian painter and researcher. Don’t pass by there door. Come in and research more about this beatiful artist. The museum is awesome

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

A little surprise on a quiet street. I loved the simplicity of the museum and great upkeep of Roerich’s works More
