The Museum of Broadway

To those of you who've been there:

Approximately how long is the average visit? A friend and I are planning to visit this place in a few weeks and are wondering whether we shpuld have lunch before or after.

 

Exactly. Save your money. It literally looks and feels like a Broadway Pop-Up museum designed for young social media influencers.  And those installations constructed specifically for selfies?  Um, no.    

The Museum of Broadway hate on this board has always been... tiring. 

I was looking at my pictures from I went and the first was taken at 11:45 and the last 12:45. The first photo was in the first room (which is after waiting to get in and then climbing up to the top) and the second was in the last major exhibit, but not quite the end. I'd leave at least 90 minutes to do it. 

One last question: is there an elevator or escalator? My friend has bad knees

 

 

I spent about 2 and a half hours there. I loved it. A very thorough and well done museum in my opinion. Yes, there are a some photo ops, but it is so much more than just that. I definitely recommend checking it out and giving yourself at least 2 hours.

A nice thing to do on a hot day between or after a show. 

I have been twice so far (went with a friend and knew my mother would LOVE it so went back with her). If you take the time to read all the the little info bits, it's honestly really interesting time imo. However, both visits we went before a show and really wish we had some more time because about have way thru, we realized we were on a time limit to make it to our shows so could not that the same leisurely pace in the second half as we were able to in the first half. Spent 90 minutes the first time and 2 hours the second time, but I easily could have spent 3 hours.
