New York It has everything you could imagine in a city. It is so extremely complete that it even has a museum dedicated to the dog . This place for dog lovers, to which of course you can go accompanied by your pet, is located in Park Ave. , that is, in the heart of the city.
AKC Museum of the Dog was founded in 1982, and before its current location, it passed through The New York Life Building at 51 Madison Avenue and through Queeny Park, in Missouri, where it remained for 30 years.
This new location of the museum combines temporary exhibitions with high technology, it also keeps a permanent collection of 1,700 pieces and one library with 4,000 volumes . The vast majority are paintings that can be consulted online (and that are not wasted), but they also have ceramics and other works of great value.
Its objective is to preserve and disseminate the role of dogs in society and, above all, educate the public about "the human-canine bond through its art collection and exhibits."
