Fodor's Expert Review Sotheby's

The respected auction house opened here in 1973 and has operated its own 15,000-square-foot gallery since 2012. Come for lectures, exhibitions, cultural events, and for the rare chance to gaze upon Sotheby's diamonds. If you’re feeling flush, consider attending an auction (dates for upcoming ones are posted on the website); paintings, ceramics, watches, and wine are only some of the items that go up on the block.
