Dog-Themed Museum Opening in New York

Works by famous dog artists, like Sir Edwin Landseer, Maud Earl, Arthur Wardle, will also be featured in the museum. For the educationally-minded, the museum will have a full library where visitors can learn about dog breeds. “It is exciting to bring this collection back to New York City,” Alan Fausel, the museum’s executive director, said in a press release. “This museum is a beautiful ode to man’s best friend.”

One of the museum’s defining characteristics will be its interactive elements, such as the “Find Your Match” kiosk in the gallery. The kiosk takes visitors’ photos and matches their likeness with a dog breed. There’s also a “Meet the Breeds” touchscreen, where guests can learn all about breeds’ traits, history, and representations in the collections. There’s even an app called “Arty,” which allows children to take a virtual tour throughout the museum.
