The collection has 16 permanent galleries as well as the Portico Gallery that features ceramics, decorative arts, and sculptures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The High Line<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The High Line was once a railroad track but is now an elevated space that runs from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking Districts (at the Whitney Museum of Art) to West 34th Street. It\u2019s a landscaped \u201cwalking park\u201d with curving walkways, picnic tables and benches, plants, public art installations, and views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline. It\u2019s a fantastic retreat from the hullabaloo of New York City.<\/p><div class=\"post-cta-roar\"><div class=\"post-cta-roar__inner\"><h2 class=\"post-cta-roar__headline\">5,800+ Rockstars Have Partnered With Us<\/h2><p class=\"post-cta-roar__paragraph\">Determine which path is right for you<\/p><div class=\"post-cta-roar__buttons\"><div class=\"post-cta-roar__button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tpi.itbyus.com\/?page_id=16967\" title=\"New to Biz Page\" class=\"btn--primary btn--post-cta-roar js-new-button\"><span>I'm a New Agent<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"post-cta-roar__button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tpi.itbyus.com\/?page_id=140\" title=\"Experienced Agents Page\" class=\"btn--secondary btn--post-cta-roar js-experienced-button\"><span>I'm An Experienced Agent<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>The Brooklyn Bridge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Brooklyn Bridge stretches over the East River, connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn.
