Join us for an exclusive look at our latest exhibition The Occupied City: New York and the American Revolution. Grab a glass of wine, mingle with fellow educators, and learn all about New York City's pivotal role in the nation's founding. 

Marking the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, The Occupied City—developed in partnership with the Gotham Center for New York City History—transforms the Museum’s entire third floor into a 7,000-square-foot immersive journey through Revolutionary-era New York. Framing the Revolution as a story of civic choice and consequence, the exhibition underscores how decisions made by New Yorkers 250 years ago continue to reverberate across the city and the nation today. 

Beverages and light bites provided.
