The Nicholas Roerich Museum is a museum on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City, dedicated to the works of Nicholas Roerich, a Russian-born artist whose work focused on nature scenes from the Himalayas.[1] Housed in a brownstone at 319 West 107th Street, the museum was originally located in the nearby Master Apartments at 103rd Street and Riverside Drive, which were built for Roerich in 1929.[2][3]
Although its acquisitions were restricted by Indian export laws, the museum includes approximately 200 of Roerich's works as well as a collection of archival materials.[4][5][6][7]
