Ice Cold: An Exhibition of Hip-Hop Jewelry

by Liz Heather in Best of NYC


American Museum of Natural History, NYC

American Museum of Natural History, NYC

Whoever pitched this idea to the American Museum of Natural History needs a raise. Especially since I can’t remember the last time that this museum had a new exhibit that I was actually excited about. Don’t get me wrong, I love that giant whale and the almost-pitch-black room with the stuffed birds (please god don’t ever update that wing), but it’s pretty rare that the Natural History museum has an exhibit that people really anticipate.

The exhibition is included with a general admission ticket, so you really have no reason not to check it out. Here were my favourite pieces.

Biz Markie Nameplate necklace, 1986

In love with the font.

Flavor Flav Clock pendant, 1988

Okay, that clock is literal history.

Ghostface Killah Eagle arm band, 1990s

Absolutely love how over the top it is.

T-Pain Big Ass Chain necklace, 2000s

Honestly, genius. So funny and probably the best of the collection.

Cardi B Nipple covers, 2022

Perfect.

Tyler, The Creator Bellhop necklace, 2021

Jesus, that’s beautiful. Maybe I’m not wearing enough gold. Really reassessing my look after coming here.

The exhibit runs until January 5th, 2025.
