The AKC Museum of the Dog blends art, education, and digital technology to create an engaging experience.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) Museum of the Dog in New York showcases one of the world’s largest collections of fine art and artifacts related to dogs. Representing the AKC’s passion for man’s best friend, the museum highlights the organization’s educational and research identity. Through a blend of physical and digital experiences, it appeals to visitors of all ages with interactive exhibits and an approachable atmosphere.

Digital activations such as the “Find Your Match” kiosk, which uses facial recognition to match visitors with AKC-registered dog breeds, and the “Train a Dog on the Job” exhibit, allow visitors to train virtual dogs using voice commands and hand signals. The museum’s mobile app offers additional information about the artwork and AKC-related services, featuring augmented reality experiences, such as a scavenger hunt led by a virtual dog named “Arty.” The classic salon-style displays, combined with these interactive and educational tools, create a personalized, heartfelt, and memorable experience for every visitor.
