Started in 1871 as an artist #sketchclub, the Salmagundi Club continues to operate out of the last surviving lower Fifth Avenue brownstone in Manhattan. On the walls of the 1850s building’s second floor library and in the hallway alongside its sturdy wooden staircase are around 120 artist palettes. Some date back to the 19th-century, and together they represent the largest collection of American artist palettes in the country.
