    Located in a former blacksmith's forge in midtown Manhattan's East Side, Holographic Studios is open to the public from Monday to Friday from 2 pm to 6 pm (closed on holidays, and its best to call ahead).  The gallery is at street level at 240 East 26th Street, between 2nd and 3rd Avenues.

    Our holographic gallery features over two hundred assorted holograms, both small and large.  Images from the US, Russia, China, and Europe can be seen.  Also on display is the world's largest collection of Integral Holograms.  These holograms are full motion 3D images. 

    Many of the holograms on display are for sale with some small hologram stickers as inexpensive as a dollar while some of the holographic art pieces are priced in the thousands of dollars. 

    Holographic Studios is a small boutique sized gallery situated in a brownstone on a mostly residential block.  We are a working studio of holography with our lab on premises and take on custom hologram projects.

    Directions to Holographic Studios

    Car:
    The Holographic Studios are located at storefront level in a small brownstone on Manhattan's East Side. The location is 240 East 26th Street, between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. There is both metered parking on the street as well as parking garages on every block in the area. Parking meters charge twenty five cents per ten minutes of parking time, so bring plenty of quarters if you plan to park on the street. Prices vary for the parking garages.

    FDR Drive:
     
    Exit at 23rd Street and proceed west (its your only choice unless you want to drive into the East River). At 3rd Avenue make a right. In three blocks at 26th Street make the right and you are there. Queens Midtown Tunnel:Get in the left lane. When you emerge in Manhattan make the left turn towards 2nd Avenue. You will get off on a side street and need to go right at the corner of 2nd Avenue a half block down. Continue on 2nd Avenue to 26th Street. You can park wherever you find a place, or you can make the right turn onto 25th Street. Then make the right at the first light (3rd Avenue) and go for a block and make a right again onto 26th Street. This is our block. Park at the first available spot.

    West Side Highway: 
    Exit at 23rd Street and go East until you reach 3rd Avenue. Make a left and go three blocks and turn right and you're here. Lincoln Tunnel:Get into the right most tube of the tunnel. Stay in the right lane and make the right turn when you exit the tunnel in Manhattan. This exit ramp will lead you South. Go as far south as you can and then follow the local road a half block West (left turn) to 9th Avenue. Turn right and go until you reach 26th Street. Turn left. Continue on 26th Street until you reach Third Avenue. Go sttraight through the intersection, we are on the right side of the block almost the whole way down just before you reach 2nd Avenue. Park your car wherever you can find a spot.

    Subway:
    The closest train line is the Lexington Avenue Local - the Number 6 train. You can take either the 23rd Street or 28th Street stations. You will be on Park Avenue. Head East. The next block you pass should be Lexington Avenue. (If you find yourself on Madison Avenue you have gone West by mistake, so in that event you should turn around and head the other way.) When you reach Third Avenue, walk over to 26th Street. We are located near the end of the block on the right (South) side a few building before 2nd Avenue.
