Fifth Avenue is not just a shopping street. Along Central Park, which borders Fifth Avenue, the street becomes more residential. Here you'll find palatial homes, grand churches and other historic buildings. You'll also come across numerous museums. In fact, there are so many of them that the area between 82nd and 104th Streets is known as the 'Museum Mile'.

During the 19th and early 20 century many wealthy industrials settled here along Fifth Avenue. They built fabulous mansions with views of Central Park. Many of these magnificent buildings are now home to museums.

You'll find the National Academy Museum in a home once belonging to the philanthropist Archer Huntington. The Frick Collections, also a museum, is housed in a mansion formerly owned by the steel magnate Henry Clay Frick. And the Museum of the City of New York is housed in a beautiful 1932 palatial residence.

There are many more museums for those interested such as the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum - housed in a mansion once owned by steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie, but the most famous of them all are the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim Museum.

The Metropolitan Museum, also known as 'the Met', is one of the world's largest museums. And the Guggenheim Museum is just as famous for the 20th century building in which it is housed as for the modern art that can be admired inside.
