Neue Galerie Reaches New Millenium: Free Nights Start Next Month

Posted by on Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 12:53 PM

Neue Galerie
The Neue Galerie, the museum of Austrian and German art at Fifth Avenue and 86th Street that maintains a not unpleasant balance of awesomeness (free screenings, best museum restaurant ever, cabaret nights, well-curated exhibitions that are never too big to enjoy) and stuffiness ($15 admission, no kids under 12, no smiling), may never again seem so intimidating and exclusive: Beginning December 4th, admission to the Neue Galerie will be free on the first Friday of every month from 6-8pm.

Most museums have free nights—MoMA from 4-8pm on Fridays, the New Museum from 7-9pm on Thursdays, ICP is by donation from 5-8pm on Fridays—but it took a Bloomberg grant to bring the Neue Galerie around to the practice. And it's just in time, because the museum's current show, From Klimt to Klee: Masterworks from the Serge Sabarsky Collection (through February 15), should not be missed.
