THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART ANNOUNCES EXTENDED SUMMER HOURS
Collection and Exhibition Galleries, The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden,
MoMA Stores, and Select Café Service Open Until 9:00 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and
Saturdays in July and August
NEW YORK, June 26, 2017—Beginning July 1, The Museum of Modern Art will offer extended
summer hours, remaining open until 9:00 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays in July
and August* in order to provide more opportunities for visitors—and especially New Yorkers
who work during the day—to enjoy the Museum in the evening hours. The Abby Aldrich
Rockefeller Sculpture Garden will be open (weather permitting), with cocktails and snacks
available for purchase and, on Thursdays, live music. UNIQLO Free Friday Nights will also be
extended until 9:00 p.m. in July and August.
In addition to works on display in the Museum’s world-class collection galleries, this summer’s
exhibitions include Robert Rauschenberg: Among Friends, an exploration of the artist’s
wide-ranging career and commitment to openness and collaboration with other artists,
dancers, musicians, and writers; Frank Lloyd Wright at 150: Unpacking the Archive, a
celebration of the 150th anniversary of the renowned architect’s birth that features
architectural drawings, models, building fragments, scrapbooks, and more—many on view for
the first time; Louise Lawler: WHY PICTURES NOW, the first major survey in New York of this
influential artist and her defiant, witty, feminist analysis of art’s production and reception;
Making Space: Women Artists and Postwar Abstraction, an exhibition drawn from the
Museum’s collection that shines a spotlight on the achievements of women artists between
the end of World War II and the beginning of the Feminist movement; and Unfinished
Conversations: New Work from the Collection, which brings together recently acquired
contemporary works by more than a dozen artists that address current anxiety and unrest
around the world and offer critical reflections on the present moment. In the Museum’s Roy
and Niuta Titus Theaters, Future Imperfect: The Uncanny in Science Fiction showcases a
dazzling array of unusual science-fiction films from around the world.
On Thursday evenings in July and August, the Museum presents Summer Thursdays, which
includes a series of musical performances in the Sculpture Garden that are free with Museum
admission. Musical performances are organized in collaboration with PopRally, a crossdepartmental
committee that programs events at the Museum and MoMA PS1. The 2017
Summer Thursdays series features performers who cross geographical and stylistic borders in
every sense, blending genres as wide-ranging as punk, jazz, Afro-beat, and electro, and
claiming cultural influences and heritage from around the globe.
The Garden Bar and the second-floor espresso bar will remain open until 9:00 p.m. on
Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays in July and August, and wine will also be served at the
espresso bar. (Cafe 2 and Terrace 5 will continue to close every day at 5:00 p.m.; Cafe 2
remains open until 7:30 p.m. on Fridays.)
Visitors can also experience the Museum’s new and renovated spaces that opened in June,
including the extended Bauhaus staircase, a new lounge facing The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller
Sculpture Garden, an additional coat check and renovated restrooms on the ground floor, a
second-floor store next to the remodeled Cafe 2, an expanded espresso bar, and
reconfigured galleries on the third floor, where the Frank Lloyd Wright exhibition is on view.
