Staten Island Museum Gala
The Staten Island Museum’s 2024 Gala was a celebration of all that is wonderful in our community. We were honored to recognize Alice B. Diamond, the New York State Nurses Association, and The Reid Family: Gabri Christa, Idea Reid and Vernon Reid for their significant contributions. Thank you to all of our supporters for making the 2024 Gala a night to remember.
Apart Together
Apart Together: The "Black Angels" Nurses of Sea View Hospital examines the work, lives, and legacy of the "Black Angels," the mostly Black nursing staff at Sea View Hospital who played an important role in breaking racial barriers among the network of municipal hospitals treating tuberculosis during the mid-1900s. It is centered around the voice of Virginia Allen. Her recollections paint a vivid picture of life as a Black nurse in New York City's public hospital system in the mid-1900s.
A Museum that's Unique to Staten Island
Our permanent collections contain natural science specimens, archival records, and works of art and design, which represent Staten Island’s natural and cultural history across time.
