The National Museum of Dance fits Saratoga Springs better than it might first sound. The city has long summer ties to performance, leisure, and New York cultural life, and the museum turns that into exhibits on dancers, companies, costumes, and stage history.
It is a specialist museum, so it is most rewarding if you care about ballet, modern dance, or American performing arts. Even casual visitors may enjoy it as a change of pace from racing history, mineral springs, and grand old resort architecture.
