New York City has long offered walk-in, interactive exhibits to lure tourist dollars away from such staples as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building.

Located at 607 Avenue of the Americas, the exhibit, “The Stone Age,” is described in press materials as an “immersive, multi-sensory cannabis experience.” Featured will be eight “thought-provoking” installations across 9,000 square feet of exhibition space. One of the installations, in partnership with the Last Prisoner Project , will be creative works by individuals formerly and currently incarcerated for nonviolent marijuana offenses.
