On October 8, 2008, the Italian American Museum Board of Trustees held the official ribbon cutting ceremony for our new home at 155 Mulberry Street in the heart of New York City’s Little Italy and opened its permanent exhibit “The Immigrant Experience: Banca Stabile”. This historic location on the corner of Mulberry and Grand Streets once housed Banca Stabile which was founded by Francesco Rosario Stabile in 1882. It has been restored and is now open to the public and will serve as the cornerstone for the Italian American Museum from which we will tell our story in America. The Italian American Museum received its Provisional Charter from the New York State Board of Regents on June 12, 2001 and is a 503(c)(3). The Museum is dedicated to exploring the rich cultural heritage of Italy and Italian Americans by presenting the individual and collective struggles and achievements of Italians and their heirs to the American way of life. By collecting, preserving, and interpreting tangible objects and reminiscences, the Italian American Museum displays notable contributions of Italians and Italian Americans to the American culture. The Italian American Museum is a cultural and educational institution promoting constructive pluralism by educating Americans to the heritage of Italian Americans and their European roots, values, language, and traditions. The Italian American Museum sponsors exhibitions, festivals, lectures, symposia and educational travel programs to Europe with a focus on Italy and its contributions to the world, as well as houses precious collections of objects and memorabilia on the Italian American experience.
