The Met Breuer Opens to Public

The Met invites the public to celebrate the opening of The Met Breuer, with specials programs and extended hours for the public to experience the Museum’s new space dedicated to modern and contemporary art at all three of its locations.

Highlights include a series of 9-Minute Talks presented by over 30 artists, writers, performers, designers, curators, Met staff, and other creative voices from across New York City. Inspired by the inaugural exhibition Unfinished: Thoughts Left Visible, the presenters will respond to the idea of the “unfinished” in talks of just 9 minutes in length—the time it takes to walk between The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Breuer, and between the entrance of Fort Tryon Park and The Met Cloisters
All events are free with Museum admission.

Related programs will also take place at The Met’s other two locations— The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters—as indicated below.
