Attention all dog lovers: did you know that the country’s only museum dedicated to dogs and the human-canine bond is right here in NYC? Just a hop, skip, and a bark away from Grand Central Terminal, you’ll find a premiere collection of art and artifacts dedicated to our best furry friends. It's time to explore one of the most unique (and arguably cutest) art collections that the city has to offer.

Join New York Adventure Club for an exclusive after-hours tour of the American Kennel Club (AKC) Museum of the Dog, a one-of-a-kind museum showcasing one of the largest repositories of canine-related art in the world.

Led by the Museum's curator, our unique after-hours experience will include:

• Private access to the two-story museum after the doors close to the public
• A deep dive into the Museum's current exhibition: Scotland, The Brave Dogs, an exhibition celebrating Scottish breeds through works by noted Scottish artists such as Edwin Douglas and Samuel Fulton, as well as renowned artists Sir Edwin Landseer, Richard Ansdell, John Sargent Noble, and George and Maud Earl
• Behind-the-scenes access to the Museum's archive to learn about art storage, restoration, and authentication
• A chance to use the Find Your Match kiosk that will take your photo and tell you which dog breed you are

Afterward, we'll have the opportunity to visit the museum's gift shop — all guests will get 10% off!
See you there!

*No pets are allowed on the tour (service dogs permitted)
**Please arrive several minutes early as the front doors will be locked once our tour begins

About the Current Exhibition: Scotland, The Brave Dogs
From the rolling Borderlands to the rugged Highlands, dogs have been an essential part of Scottish life for centuries. As tireless herders, skilled bird dogs, steadfast hunters, and cherished companions, they worked shoulder to shoulder with their people, embodying Scotland’s deep-rooted bond with man’s best friend.
Scotland is home to some of the world’s most beloved and instantly recognizable breeds. From the noble elegance of the Deerhound to the bold charm of the Scottish Terrier, these dogs have inspired artists across generations, becoming enduring symbols of strength, loyalty, and character.
Coinciding with New York's Tartan Week, the AKC Museum of the Dog proudly presents Scotland, The Brave Dogs, an exhibition celebrating Scottish breeds through works by noted Scottish artists such as Edwin Douglas and Samuel Fulton, as well as renowned artists Sir Edwin Landseer, Richard Ansdell, John Sargent Noble, and George and Maud Earl.
The exhibition runs from March 26 through July 12, and will host numerous events to celebrate throughout, including on the eve of Manhattan’s Tartan Day Parade.
More than a celebration of iconic breeds, Scotland, The Brave Dogs offers a window into the nation’s rich history and cultural legacy. Through the stories of these dogs, their roles, their evolution, and their deep connection to the land, we honor Scotland itself: its working traditions, its artistic heritage, and the remarkable dogs that helped shape both.
