The Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York City is dedicated to the paintings and cultural legacy of Russian artist Nicholas Roerich. It houses a permanent collection of his works and related archival material.

The museum was founded to preserve Roerich’s art and to promote study of his work and ideas; it concentrates on the artist’s creative output and the Roerich family’s cultural activities. The collection has been displayed in the current townhouse location for many decades.

The museum is on the Upper West Side of Manhattan near West 107th Street, a short walk from Central Park and accessible by local subway lines.

Address/drive: The Nicholas Roerich Museum is on Manhattan’s Upper West Side at 319 West 107th Street (between Broadway and Riverside Drive).

Transit: The 1 subway stops close by (103rd St or 110th St stations); from either station it is a short walk (about 5-10 minutes) to West 107th Street. Local buses and short taxi/ride‑hail trips are also common.

• Check opening days and hours before you go-this small museum has limited public hours and often feels busiest on weekend afternoons, so a weekday visit usually gives a quieter experience.
• Spend extra time with the upstairs rooms and the artist's domestic interiors and murals; many visitors focus on the paintings downstairs and miss the contextual displays.
• Ask staff about current temporary displays or special talks-small museums frequently offer curator-led introductions that enrich the visit but aren't always advertised widely.
