New museum exhibit excavates untold New York City stories

Here is a new museum to visit in New York City.  The Tenement Museum pays tribute to those often-invisible immigrants and workers struggling through poverty to establish a home. Michelle Miller for CBS News reports on the stories told at a new exhibit.

The Museum’s website describes the museum as follows:

“The Tenement Museum celebrates the enduring stories that define and strengthen what it means to be American.

A hidden gem of New York City, our two historic tenement buildings offer visitors a chance to explore the historically recreated homes of immigrant, migrant, and refugee families who lived in city tenements between the 1860s and the 1980s through interactive guided building tours, as well as walking tours of the iconic Lower East Side neighborhood of Manhattan.:
