A few highlights, via the museum:

- A celebration of birds anchored by 13 solo piano pieces from French composer’s Olivier Messiaen’s Catalogue D’oiseaux performed every hour throughout the day in the Hall of North American Forests

3. The Grand Bazaar flea market on 77th and Columbus is hosting NYC Earth Day Bazaar all day Sunday. Together with Earth Day Initiative, the Grand Bazaar will allow you to “discover and shop from talented local artists and makers who creatively use recycled materials to make jewelry, fashion, furniture, art, home accessories, and more.”
