Exhibitions
The FASNY Museum of Firefighting is the home of the premiere collection of firefighting artifacts in the world. The Museum staff uses these objects, everything from antique fire engines to oil paintings, in exhibits that tell the story of the American firefighter. Using these authentic objects within each exhibit helps to transform some aspect of the visitor’s interests, attitudes or values affectively, due to the visitor’s discovery on some level of meaning in the objects on display. This discovery can only be stimulated and sustained by the presentation of authentic objects. Such discoveries make the exhibits at the FASNY Museum of Firefighting both intriguing and enlightening.
Discover how firefighting has changed from Ancient Times to the present, learn how steam power transformed the fire pumper and the fire service nationally, explore the grand firehouse of the 1800s, discover how the lithographs of the firm of Currier and Ives illustrated the life of a fireman, learn how the Dutch prevented fire in what would later become New York State and much, much more, all within the confines of this world-class Museum.
