A "Gilded Age" Guide to New York and Newport | Condé Nast Traveler
"Housed on the east side of Central Park between 79th and 84th Street, I see the Metropolitan Museum of Art as a major Gilded Age landmark—founded in 1870 by the Union League Club—but one that lacks the intimacy of a true mansion setting; its massive building was constructed to be a museum and has been expanded many times." - Charlie Hobbs
