The Van Cortlandt House Museum is the oldest building in The Bronx, New York City.

The Van Cortlandt House was built by Frederick Van Cortlandt (1699–1749) in 1748, a mansion for the Van Cortlandt family built in Yonkers, of fieldstone, in Georgian style. He died before its completion and willed it to his son, James Van Cortlandt (1727–1787).



The Audubon Ballroom and Theater, located at 3940 Broadway between 165th and 166th Streets, was opened in 1912 by William Fox. The Audubon was one of the first theaters in the Fox theater group for vaudeville and movies to come to Washington Heights and Inwood.

The Audubon Ballroom is most notoriously known as where Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965.



The Cotton Club was a famous night club in New York City that operated during and after Prohibition.
While the club featured many of the greatest African American entertainers of the era, such as Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway and Ethel Waters, it generally denied admission to blacks. During its heyday, it served as a chic meeting spot in the heart of Harlem, featuring regular "Celebrity Nights" on Sundays, at which Jimmy Durante, New York mayor Jimmy Walker and other luminaries would appear.



Madame Tussauds is a wax museum in London, with branches in Amsterdam, Hong Kong (Victoria Peak), Las Vegas, New York City, Shanghai (open soon), and Hollywood (location announced). It was set up by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud.

Madame Tussaud (1761–1850), born Marie Grosholtz in Strasbourg, worked as a housekeeper for Dr. Philippe Curtius, a physician skilled in wax modelling. Curtius taught Tussaud the art of wax modelling. In 1765, Curtius made a waxwork of Marie Jean du Barry, Louis XV's mistress. A cast of that mould is the oldest work currently on display.
