"Museums in New York City have become prohibitively expensive in recent years, with institutions like the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim, and the Whitney Museum of American Art all raising their general admission price to $30 for adults. At MoMA PS1, free admission will coincide with the institution's 50th-anniversary programming in 2026, including its annual Greater New Yorksurvey opening in April."
"The institution is already free for New York residents, but charges $10 for admission for out-of-towners, withdiscounted rates for seniors and youth. In a press release, the museum claimed that its forthcoming fee waiver makes it the largest free museum in New York City. Yu's gift comes a year after the Whitney Museum of American Art offered visitors under the age of 25 free admission for three years, following a $2 million donation from artist Julie Mehretu and an unspecified amount from philanthropist Susan Hess."
MoMA PS1 will provide free admission to all visitors from 2026 through 2028 after a gift from Bay Area collector Sonya Yu. The free admission will align with the institution's 50th-anniversary programming, including the Greater New York survey in April 2026. The museum currently offers free entry to New York residents and charges $10 for out-of-towners, with discounted rates for seniors and youth. The museum stated the fee waiver aims to reduce financial barriers and claims it will become the largest free museum in New York City. The dollar amount of Yu's gift has not been disclosed.
