Culture Pass

Discover New York City with Culture Pass!

Culture Pass is bringing the city's museums and theaters to you through our Community Programming series! Take in some experimental theater from the comfort of your couch; enjoy an art-making activity with the whole family at your local library; go on a digital tour of a museum you've always been meaning to visit; and much, much more! 

All events listed here are free and open to the public. Register in advance, and you'll get a direct link as well as a reminder the day of the event. It's as easy as signing in, kicking back, and enjoying. 

Culture Pass is a program for cardholding patrons 13 and older of Brooklyn Public Library, New York Public Library and Queens Library. Using their library card, New Yorkers can reserve a pass and get free admission to dozens of NYC cultural institutions, including museums, historical societies, heritage centers, public gardens and more. Please visit culturepass.nyc for more information!
