An event at the Museum of the City of New York is like no other. Housed in an elegant landmark building on Fifth Avenue, across from Central Park Conservatory Garden, the Museum is a magical location for all event types. As guests enter the Museum from Fifth Avenue, they step into a beautiful, marble rotunda, the highlight of our grand Georgian-style mansion. A stunning floating marble staircase leads up to the second floor where a graceful reception hall looks out over the Central Park Conservatory Garden complete with French doors. Our front courtyard and back terrace are delightful in the summer months and can be tented in any season. Our auditorium is available for conferences, meetings, and performances. The Museum is a perfect setting for intimate functions, corporate dinner parties, larger holiday parties, and weddings.

To receive more information on holding an event at the Museum, please contact Lois Myller, the Museum's Event Coordinator at 212.534.1672, extension 3309, or by email at lmyller@mcny.org.
