About AKC Museum of the Dog

The AKC Museum of the Dog, on Park Avenue in Manhattan, holds an art collection and exhibits about dogs and the human-canine relationship. Current and upcoming shows focus on individual breeds, such as the Xoloitzcuintle and the Saluki. The museum runs community programs for dog lovers, and on Fridays pet dogs are allowed inside during regular hours. Children can visit a kids' corner with dog toys and puzzles, and the library has its own children's area.
