Savor the spring: A Night at the Museum' blends elegance, art and Altruism at The Astor House | amNewYork
Briefly

The New York Junior League's Savor the Spring benefit transformed the historic Astor House into a vibrant celebration of New York's cultural heritage. On April 26, guests experienced a sensory overload reminiscent of a Chagall dream, blending art, fashion, and philanthropy. The theme, A Night at the Museum, was an immersive homage to iconic New York institutions, engaging attendees in a living gallery rather than a static exhibit. The night not only honored the city's artistic spirit but also raised substantial funds for the League's mission, promoting philanthropic initiatives that support women, children, and families throughout the city.
The evening raised a significant sum to further the New York Junior League's philanthropic mission—empowering women, children, and families through grassroots initiatives.
The Astor House was reborn into a time-traveling temple showcasing New York's iconic institutions, becoming a sacred gallery of art, wine, and culture.
Inspired by the glamour of the Met Gala, the Harriman Room shimmered with red carpet elegance, setting a tone of theatrical flair and creative swagger.
It felt like slipping into a dream stitched together by Chagall and Diana Vreeland—a sensory wonder full of beauty and cultural reverence.
