About Rose Museum
The Rose Museum is a small museum dedicated to the history of Carnegie Hall in Manhattan, New York City. The museum, which opened in 1991, is located at 154 West 57th Street, on the second floor of Carnegie Hall. It was funded by the Susan and Elihu Rose Foundation and includes more than 2,500 feet of archives and more than a century of concert programs. The plan when the museum opened was to supplement its permanent collection with a series of rotating exhibits. The museum also focuses on the Hall's uncertain future following the development of Lincoln Center and the sale of Carnegie Hall in the late 1950s leading to the preservation campaign spearheaded by Isaac Stern. The government purchased the hall in 1960 and the building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1962.
