The New Museum offers a variety of spaces to make your next occasion unforgettable.

The top floor of our sleek new home, the Sky Room, is our premier space and is primarily reserved for events. With floor-to-ceiling windows and a wraparound terrace, this adaptable space provides stunning, panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline as a dramatic backdrop for cocktail receptions for up to 200 people, or seated dinners for up to 120.

Our versatile, wide-open, ground-floor lobby, the Marcia Tucker Hall - with glass walls leading to streetscape views, and our Glass Gallery filled with cutting-edge contemporary art - accommodates up to 400 for cocktails or 100 for seated events.

Our state-of-the-art double-height theater, with flexible seating arrangements for 182 and an elegant pre- and post-event area, serves as an ideal setting for functions of all kinds, including digital screenings on our projection screen and dance performances on our sprung wooden floor.

Rental of these spaces may include access to exhibitions, subject to availability.

The New Museum is proud to offer catering exclusively by Creative Edge Parties. Creative Edge believes that the food they create should be equal to that of the most exciting and innovative restaurants.  They are proud to partner with celebrity chefs to accomplish that for your next event. 

Be among the first to host an event in New York's newest cultural landmark. Given that demand for all the New Museum's spaces is high, we encourage you to contact us soon. We would be delighted to walk you through our new building and discuss the possibilities.
