We had the opportunity to enjoy this year’s Museum Mile Festival on Tuesday evening, a cultural celebration hosted by the storied institutions of Fifth Avenue.

The festivities spanned Fifth Avenue, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art at 82^nd Street, to The Museum of the City of New York and El Museo del Barrio at 104^th Street.  It was a rare opportunity to stroll down the middle of Fifth Avenue, with musicians and artists sharing their talents on a beautiful summer’s evening. Many of the museums offered free admission and kept their doors open later than usual to promote their most recent exhibitions.

 

 

Here are a few of the exhibitions highlighted during the festival:

• The Metropolitan Museum of Art:

Transitional Object (PyschoBarn), Cornelia Parker

• Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

Future Present, László Moholy-Nagy

• Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum
