Amazing historic mansion! Incredible hand-carved woodwork. Displays were not what we expected.

What a wonderful experience!! I really liked that parts of Andrew Carnegie's home was still preserved. A really good mixture of new design works & select collection of valuable pieces of furniture & incredible household items: vases, dishes etc. Well worth a visit.

It’s really sad what happened to the mansion. The designer of the museum, certainly did not respect the historical value of the building. All the precious titanic wall, are painted in white or covered by some “designs”. It’s a shame that the city did not control de historical value of the place.

Since the home is a museum for the arts, there are not any interpretive signage text blocks for the former home of Andrew Carnegie. When you get off the elevator on the 2nd floor there is a touch screen with vintage photos of the interior for some insite as to what it looked like as a residence.

The Carnegie Mansion is a gorgeous Georgian revival style Mansion at Fifth Avenue in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York. The Carnegie Mansion was initially built in 1899 and finally completed in 1902 by Andrew Carnegie, a pioneering steel industrialist and world renowned philanthropist. It served as the primary residence for Andrew Carnegie, his wife, Louis Whitfield and their daughter, Margaret Carnegie Miller. Today, the Carnegie Mansion now serves as the location of the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. In June of 2021, I brought and treated myself and my wife for a visit of the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design. During our self guided tour, my wife and I learned much about Andrew Carnegie and the history of Carnegie Mansion from the museum’s staff. We learned that the Carnegie Mansion was the first private residence to have a Otis passenger elevator and also contain central heating. Both my wife and I highly enjoyed our visit of this breathtaking historic mansion!!!
