Museum Mile



         


Museum Mile is the name for a section of Fifth Avenue, an avenue in Manhattan in the City of New York, running from 82nd to 105th streets on the Upper East Side in a neighborhood known as Carnegie Hill.

New York City officially designated this segment as Museum Mile because it is the location of nine museums, several of which are world-renowned.
