We will be open and FREE from 6–9pm on June 18th for you to visit our exhibitions to explore the history, culture, and spirit of NYC. Don't miss the chance to see our newest exhibition Changing the Face of Democracy: Shirley Chisolm at 100 and the send off of our centennial exhibition This is New York: 100 Years of the City in Art and Pop Culture — and make sure to grab a Kids’ Activity Guide for the little ones.

Free to all, no registration required!
Learn more about the History of Museum Mile
Established in 1978 to increase public awareness of its member institutions and promote public support of the arts, the Museum Mile Festival serves as a model for similar events across the globe. The eight institutions participating in this highly successful collaboration are The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Neue Galerie New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum; The Jewish Museum; Museum of the City of New York; El Museo del Barrio; and The Africa Center. Several neighborhood partners, including the New York Academy of Medicine, the Church of the Heavenly Rest, Asia Society, and AKC Museum of the Dog will also join us in this celebration.
Museum of the City of New York, El Museo del Barrio, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art are members of the Cultural Institutions Group (CIG), a diverse coalition of 34 nonprofit museums, performing arts centers, historical societies, zoos, and botanical gardens in New York that share a private-public partnership with the City and reside within City-owned property.
Free.
