Free Second Sundays

Admission to the Whitney is free for all visitors all day on the second Sunday of every month. Enjoy art, all-ages artmaking (related to art on view), storytimes from The New York Public Library, tours, delicious food and drinks in the Whitney’s restaurants, and views of the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and more from the Museum’s iconic terraces. 

Named one of the best free things to do in NYC by Time Out NY, Free Second Sunday is a fun way to spend a day. The Whitney’s neighborhood includes many other destinations, including the High Line, Little Island, Gansevoort Beach, and more. Spend the day downtown. See photos shared by our visitors on Instagram (share yours and tag us @whitneymuseum). 

Though admission is free, tickets are required and capacity is limited. Advance tickets are recommended.
