The Rise of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Central Park

It’s one of the great narratives of American urban history — the northward trek of New York society up the island of Manhattan during the 19th century. 

Bringing you this special story today is writer, tour guide and historian Keith Taillon from KeithYorkCity, joining Carl Raymond from the Gilded Gentleman podcast to analyze this unique social migration. They present a fascinating virtual tour through over 100 years of New York City history, showing how the Gilded Age developed and evolved from an architectural and urban planning point of view.
