Kewho Min, Accountant, On Free Museum Passes In NYC
Kewho Min explains how you can get access to several NYC museums for free through the power of the New York Public Library.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am one of New York City’s largest fans. I absolutely adore everything that the city has to offer, and it has a ton to offer. From opportunities to ogle nature to restaurants of all kinds, New York City has anything you could possibly imagine. One of the city’s largest draws is its world-famous museums, such as the Guggenheim and the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). And if you’re a citizen of the Big Apple, and you love going to see the world’s latest and greatest art, then you might want to consider going to the library.
It might sound a bit strange at first, but it’s true: the New York Public Library is now offering free admission into select museums as long as you’re a library card holder; the same holds true for the Queens and Brooklyn systems. This is an amazing opportunity for anyone looking to become a bit more cultured and enjoy the city’s various museums.
The program is very simple. Users need only to go online and visit Culturepass.nyc and download their very own daylong Culture Passes. The beauty of the program is in the sheer variety of the museums participating. Pass holders can visit large, well-known museums, such as the Museum of Modern Art, and visit smaller, lesser-known museums, such as the Brooklyn Botanical Garden.

If you’re looking to get in on the program, all you need to do is enter your card information in the aforementioned website, select a date and you and four guests can enjoy some of the city’s greatest cultural melting pots.
Programs such as these really offer New Yorkers the ability to truly experience the city’s culture. Considering the fact that a pass for the MOMA is $25 for an adult, using your library card can save you a great deal of money. And what’s more, you can also visit the library. Don’t get so caught up in the free museum passes that you forget about the vast amount of information at your fingertips.

As a fan of New York, I can’t express just how much I enjoy this program. I’m very excited to see it come to fruition and I hope that the entirety of the city takes advantage.
