Tour Museum Mile for Free

It is an astounding fact that along one 23-block stretch of Manhattan real estate there are some of the world’s greatest museums. Along Fifth Avenue, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the south, to The Africa Center in the north, are eight institutions offering a wide range of cultural treasures.

On June 9, beginning at 5:45pm, those world-class museums will be open to the public for free for extended evening hours. To add to the special nature of the event a variety of entertainment venues will be open along the mile, as well as art-in-the-street.

At the Museo del Barrio the Calpulli Mexican Dance Company will perform while people can experience Mexican nostalgia and the making of art.

At the Museum of the City of New York there will be Hp Hop Dancing from Hush Tours’.

At the Jewish Museum Paul Miller, better known as DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid will entertain. The family activity is making an accordion book using collage and drawing.
