Museum Mile Festival 2007

events in June 2007
June 12, 2007
One day a year, for the past 28 years, nine of the country's finest museums, all ones that call Fifth Avenue home, collectively open their doors for free to New Yorkers and visitors for a mile-long block party and visual art celebration. This traffic-free, music- and art-filled celebration fills the street and sidewalks of Fifth Avenue from 82nd to 105th street, the mile now officially designated as Museum Mile. Over 50,000 visitors attend the festival annually.
This year's 29th annual festival kicks off at The National Academy Museum with an opening ceremony, at 5:45pm, on the steps of its landmark building on Fifth Avenue @89th street.
