The museum, originally housed at Gracie Mansion in Carl Schurz Park, is dedicated to an examination of the city and its myriad aspects. The park system, comprising nearly 17% of the metropolis, is a forum for activities for people of all walks of life and social status. It is both a refuge from the city and a mirror of the city itself. The images in this show are a fraction of the museum\u2019s immense holdings, yet they represent a critical time in the parks system\u2014from the social reform era to the cusp of World War II and ascendancy of modern New York\u2014and demonstrate the beauty and vigor of the city\u2019s parks. Featuring photographs by the Byron Company, Berenice Abbott, Jesse Tarbox Beals, Samuel H. Gottscho, Jacob Riis, and the Wurts Brothers among others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information, please visit:<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nycgovparks.org\/events\/2012\/08\/28\/parkcentric-photographs-from-the-museum-of-the-city-of-new-york-18901940\"> http:\/\/www.nycgovparks.org\/events\/2012\/08\/28\/parkcentric-photographs-from-the-museum-of-the-city-of-new-york-18901940<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday, August 28, 2012 9:00 a.m.\u20135:00 p.m. Arsenal (in Central Park), Manhattan Free<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22142"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22142\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22146,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22142\/revisions\/22146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
