Person at NYC map-themed merchandise store counter with books and souvenirs.

This is a children’s bookstore (with books in Hebrew, Ukrainian, English, and Russian) and a great place for meetups and engaging lectures.

We got lucky: our correspondent attended a talk by Dmitry Popov, a curator at the Roerich Museum in New York.

It was incredibly fascinating to immerse ourselves in the world of the entire Roerich family and in New York of the 1920s, when all these events were taking place. And to ask probably a dozen questions, since the intimate format of the space is perfectly suited for dialogue.
