PUBLIC VIRTUAL TOURS
Join us for a live, forty-five-minute virtual tour that brings people together for close looking and conversations focused on a current exhibition. Tours are free, interactive experiences held on Zoom. A New Museum teaching fellow will share exclusive digital content and introduce themes, artworks, behind-the-scenes insights, and questions for consideration related to the exhibition. Upcoming dates and times are listed on our events calendar.
