A young boy heads into New York City to visit the Museum of Modern art.  As he begins looking through the museum, the artwork comes to life and joins him on his tour.  Musicians, lions, and dancers follow the boy through the museum and out the doors. Together they discover and enjoy the many sights to see throughout New York City.  Finally, it is time for the boy to go home.  He takes each of the characters back to their paintings and says farewell.
