101 Park Avenue, in Manhattan, which houses the AKC Museum of the Dog, is sleek and modern, but on the inside lies a rich material past. The Museum and the AKC’s archives were first housed at the Club’s old headquarters at 51 Madison Avenue, then relocated to St. Louis, and then returned to New York in February of 2019.
