A unique and one of a kind venue, the museum’s open and inviting spaces provide a beautiful atmosphere for any type of event.

The fourth floor of the museum offers a different ambiance as a bright wide open space extending the entire area of the fourth floor. This open concept floor plan also includes an outdoor balcony, which can be utilized for cocktail hours or ceremonies. Picture the utilitarian terrace space swagged in fabrics of warm and inviting colors. Flowers to match, chivari chairs line the length of the aisle as you prepare to take your first step towards the next chapter of your life. The capital district’s picturesque skyline as your backdrop, the museum creates memories that will last more than a lifetime for both you and your guests.

The bare bones of the space truly allot for any ideas your imagination may dream up and the museum has the space to accommodate these dreams.

One of the Museum’s most beloved attractions is the New York Museum Carousel. Built by one of the leading carousel manufactures in America, the Herschell-Spillman Company of North Towanda, New York between the years 1912 and 1916, the carousel exudes the regality and fashion of a time when life was more simple. Located on the fourth floor of the museum, this antique relic is available for use during events or weddings. Guests can go back in time as they ride the elaborately carved wooden horses.
