The AKC Museum of the Dog at 40: And the Collectors Who Made It.

January 04, 2023 - April 02, 2023

In honor of the 40th anniversary of the Museum's opening, come see our newest special exhibition, The AKC Museum of the Dog at 40: And the Collectors Who Made It. This exhibition will bring into focus several of the collectors whose donations had a profound impact on shaping the permanent collection and where it stands today. Some of the featured collectors include Frank Sabella, Marie A. Moore, Cynthia Wood, and Ron Menaker.

Out of courtesy to our neighbors, only service dogs and invited demonstration dogs are allowed in the museum.
