What happens in The Clock before the Museum opens? Members at the Supporting category and above are invited to a private, early-morning viewing of Christian Marclay’s 24-hour masterpiece. This special viewing is filled with ringing alarm clocks, groggy mornings, and the start of the workday—scenes you might have missed during regular hours. Set your own alarm and join us for a cinematic wake-up call like no other.

Please select only one of the morning viewings. Doors open at 7:45 a.m. Please enter through the Ronald S. and Jo Carole Lauder Building entrance at 11 West 53 Street. Advance registration is required and capacity is limited.
