Free Himalayan Paintings in a 107th Street Townhouse
Three floors of Roerich's mountain canvases, ending in a scented top-floor gallery with music.
🏔 Music and Cedar on the Top Floor
Roerich's Himalayan canvases fill three floors of an Upper West Side townhouse, more than 150 works in unhurried rooms. Admission is free, with no ticket or reservation. Hours are Tuesday to Friday 12:00–4:00 PM and weekends 12:00–5:00 PM; last entry 30 minutes before closing; closed Mondays, New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Two flights of stairs reach the upper galleries, and the elevator or wheelchair access needs a request at least a day ahead. The third floor holds Himālaya — Abode of Snows, where mountain paintings meet music and a botanical scent drawn from Himalayan cedar, pine and juniper. The gallery, like the reception area, is continuously scented, so fragrance-sensitive visitors may want to limit their time there.
