At the Neue Galerie:
Neue Galerie New York invites Museum Mile Festival guests to join us at a pop-up table located in front of the museum to explore the architecture and history of our landmark home, 1048 Fifth Avenue, and our collections of Austrian and German art and design.
Please Note:
The Neue Galerie will not be open to visitors during the festival, as the museum is closed for the summer beginning on May 27, 2026. This autumn marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the museum's founding, and the galleries will reopen to the public with the “25th Anniversary Exhibition,” which debuts in Autumn 2026. The longevity of the Neue Galerie’s historic home depends on careful, loving, ongoing upkeep. The museum has been engaged in a multi-phased process to enhance the building and fortify it for the next chapter.
Free museum admission and activities will be offered all along Museum Mile. Please check each partner institution's website for more information about the range of programs and offerings.
