Like a faithful dog that manages to find its way home over long distances, the American Kennel Club's Museum of the Dog is returning to its New York City home, with a new location at 101 Park Avenue, near Grand Central Terminal.
For the past twenty years, it's been in West St. Louis County, MO, where the AKC moved in 1987 when Manhattan rents went too high.
The museum, which will house art from famous dog artists such as Sir Edwin Landseer, Maud Earl, Arthur Wardle and many more. It also has a two-story glass vitrine that encases rare porcelains and bronzes, in addition to a library where users can learn about their favorite breeds. The Museum's first exhibition will be entitled "For the Love of All Things Dog" and combines select works from the AKC's own collection and that of the Museum.
