2019 Museum Day in New York City is a one-day event when participating museums and cultural institutions provide free entry to those presenting a ticket. Participants are permitted to download one ticket per email address, which allows two free general admissions.
This year’s Museum Day will take viewers from Staten Island, and Brooklyn throughout Manhattan, Long Island City, to the Bronx.

Two relatively new kids on the block will be open, The AKC Museum of the Dog and Poster House Museum (no ticket required for Poster House).
We expect more institutions to open their doors, and as they do, we will include. Some museums, like Poster House, are not listed on the Smithsonian site, but will be participating all that day.
