The New York Public Library has just announced a new perk for being a member. You can now get free admission to 33 museums and other cultural institutions one day a year with your card. (The Queens and Brooklyn library systems are also participating.)

To sign up, go to the library site and input the numbers on your card and your pin number. Then you’ll have to reserve the date when you want to go and print out a pass on that date. Here’s a longer explanation of how it works.

And here are the participating institutions:

  • Brooklyn Botanic Garden
  • Brooklyn Children’s Museum
  • Brooklyn Historical Society
  • Brooklyn Museum
  • Children’s Museum of Manhattan
  • Children’s Museum of the Arts
  • Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum
  • The Drawing Center
  • The Frick Collection
  • Historic Richmond Town
  • International Center of Photography
  • Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum
  • Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art
  • The Jewish Museum
  • Louis Armstrong House
  • The Metropolitan Museum of Art
  • The Morgan Library & Museum
  • Museum of Modern Art, MoMA PS1
  • Museum of Chinese in America
  • Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust
  • Museum of the City of New York
  • New York Transit Museum
  • Noguchi Museum
  • Queens Historical Society
  • Queens Museum
  • Rubin Museum of Art
  • SculptureCenter
  • Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian
  • Society of Illustrators
  • Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
  • Sugar Hill Children’s Museum
  • Wave Hill
  • Whitney Museum of American Art

Adds some value to the Public Library Card, now that the libraries have been decimated.

Kanopy is a fantastic benefit, too! It’s a streaming service (like Netflix or Amazon Prime, with a lot of the same movie content) that is totally free to anyone with a New York Public Library card. I’ve actually cancelled my Netflix and am using that instead. Access to e-books is great as well, although I wish the waiting lists weren’t so long for most of the selections.

Good luck getting a freebie to the Intrepid. The reservation system is stupid. It doesn’t tell you what’s available until you pick a day.

Wonder why AMNH is not on that list?

good question. meanwhile, because entrance is by donation, 25¢ will get you inside. for that matter, so will 1¢.

And volunteering at AMNH or any of the above institutions will get you and a guest free admission to all the others, any day, any time, any number of times. (They’re all part of the NY Museum Council).

Just FYI….

Although many premier tier museums are listed, none of them actually have any available dates – just the obscure ones do. Initially, I assumed this was a scam but since yesterday, the Guggenheim added availability so there’s hope the rest will soon follow. I’ll keep watching for updates.
