Arts Editor Maya Campbell and GSSC Bureau Chief Charlotte Slovin bring you an extensive list of New York City museums, sculpture gardens, theaters, and more that are free to all Barnumbia students.
New York City is packed with an incredible array of art and culture but with so many different exhibits and events going on, sometimes it’s hard to know where to start! We’ve whipped up a nice list of places Barnumbia students can access for free, either with the use of their CUID or the place just has free admission. This list is by no means complete but should give you a good breadth of places across all 5 boroughs to check out.
Manhattan
Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum
Dance Theater of Harlem (performances in the future may cost, but virtual performance recordings are free)
Frick Gallery (pay-what-you-wish on Saturdays from 11-1 pm, so pay nothing if you wish)

Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology
Museum of the City of New York
National Academy of Design Museum

@Anonymous Barnumbia will never happen because CC women will always hate being mistaken for Barnard students more than they care about being “equitable”
@real talk Bwog, stop trying to make “Barnumbia” happen, it’s not going to happen.
@ill admit it i say barnumbia all the time tbh
@Barnumbia? Barnumbia? Hasn’t this phony, lame attempt by Bwog to create an actual word used by actual people died yet? Just a terrible, useless name that will never catch on. Give it up already.
@Anonymous Please do not use the word barnumbia. No one at Columbia uses that term.
