The Elizabet Ney Museum sits in a residential neighborhood on 44th Street off of Avenue G. It's an unusual location for a museum - but nothing about the place (or Elizabet Ney) is usual. The museum contains many statues created by Mrs. Ney who would commute 110 miles on horseback from her home in Hempstead, Texas to her studio (now the museum).
