Rotating exhibitions spotlight everything from AIDS activism and Black American stage history to Czechoslovak travel posters, all in a compact Chelsea space you can savor in under an hour. Free admission on First Fridays and Third Sundays makes it an easy, low-commitment stop between galleries or before dinner.
