MUSEUM QUIZ ANSWER

  Chris Fuccione was the first to respond with a correct answer
  to last week's question about the oldest continuously operating
  museum in Manhattan.  Gar Travis was a close second with this
  reply: "The New-York Historical Society, which was formed in
  1804, runs the oldest museum in the city and is the
  second-oldest historical society in the country."

  David Klinger adds: "It is located at: 2 West 77th Street at
  Central Park West  (212) 873-3400  www.nyhistory.org"

  [So what's the oldest continuously operating museum in the
  country?  The Peabody Essex Museum of Salem, MA.
  From their web site:  "This museum is one of New England's
  largest and specializes in early American decorative arts and
  Federal period architecture. Begun in 1799 by seafaring
  entrepreneurs, it is the country's oldest continuously
  operating museum."   -Editor]
