Tenement Museum Photos!

We are awesome! Look at these awesome pics of the museum! Look at the exciting pics of what the people did and wore! We totally need a fashion update!! We took pictures about the people who were immigrants who lived in the Lower East Side. We took pictures because we are making a mural for the museum and we will use the photos to design the mural.
