First Thursdays

Gallery experience

See the new MoMA after hours
The first Thursday of every month the Museum is open until 9:00 p.m.

Start your weekend early—join us for First Thursdays, a special evening every month at the Museum when you can enjoy dinner and cocktails at our new Terrace Café, at Café 2, or at the Modern before—or after—setting out to explore the new MoMA.

Immerse yourself in our expanded galleries and opening season of exhibitions, from a celebration of Latin American art to 11 watershed installations by living artists over the past 20 years to explorations of artists Betye Saar and Pope.L. Step into the world of Rainforest V., conceived by electronic music pioneer David Tudor and realized by Composers Inside Electronics Inc., in the Kravis Studio, and experience multimedia installations including Haegue Yang’s Handles in the Marron Atrium.

Artist Dayanita Singh discusses her work Museum of Chance with Lucy Gallun, associate curator in the Department of Photography, for the One Work series, in which artists join curators to discuss the stories behind a specific work of theirs on view in the galleries. Catch a film in the Black Family Film Center, or express yourself in the Crown Creativity Lab.

Discover our new flagship Museum Store, where you can shop the limited-edition collection celebrating a new MoMA, pre-wrapped Gifts-to-Go, and our assortment of over 2,000 books. Visit MoMA Design Store across 53rd Street and discover gifts for everyone on your list, including our assortment of jewelry and accessories. MoMA members save 10% every day.
