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.
