To the New York Historical Society - to see Betye Saar's angry/satiric assemblages from washboards, and also this stunning piece, "A Loss of Innocence" - a beautiful lacy christening gown, until you go up close, and see that it's covered - with great tastefulness - with all the derogatory, hurtful, racist names that the baby will likely grow up to be called.
There's also a huge gallery of Tiffany lamps and glass, which decidedly represent another side of America - but which make for some wonderful photographs ...
