More possible stop-offs in New York, for those set to head for NecronomiCon Providence 2013 in August 2013…

* Nicholas Roerich Museum New York, 150 paintings on show from one of Lovecraft’s favorite artists. Free.

* A Beautiful Way to Go: New York’s Green-Wood Cemetery, a history exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York. Aka Greenwood Cemetery, a feast of neo-Gothic architecture and carving. Lovecraft visited this cemetery on a night walk with Sonia and others while in New York. Lovecraft’s story “The Horror at Red Hook” buried Robert Suydam there.

* The New York Historical Society has Swing Time: Reginald Marsh and Thirties New York, which looks like it should provide a fine insight into the seedier and more grotesque sides of the city in the 1930s.

* Journey To The Stars, the planetarium show at the American Natural History Museum. Tickets needed.

* The New York Public Library has The ABC of It: why children’s books matter, 250 items curated by children’s book expert Leonard S. Marcus. May interest some, as it might skew toward the fantastical elements in children’s books.
