The Metropolitan Museum is very  much worth visiting as well--and 
more accessible if she is spending her time downtown. They have a lot 
of very nice early jewelery on display at the moment.

And for anyone on this coast who wants to see it, I have pictures of 
quite a lot of it--loot from my virtual raid a few weeks ago.
