About this event
Every Friday evening the Whitney drops its admission price to zero and stays open until 10pm — five unhurried hours to roam the Meatpacking District landmark's daylight-flooded galleries and its stacked outdoor terraces as the sun goes down over the Hudson. Renzo Piano's building offers some of the best free views in downtown Manhattan, and the ground floor is always open ticket-free.
Why we picked it
A world-class collection of American art, free to everyone with no residency test, on the liveliest night of the week in the Meatpacking District.
Free entry
'Admission to the Whitney is free for all visitors every Friday evening from 5–10 pm.' No residency, student or membership restriction. Though admission is free, tickets are required and capacity is limited.
