Devoted to enriching one’s inner life, Manhattan’s most contemplative museum — the Rubin Museum of Art — offers a Free Seniors Day on the first Monday of every month. Adults 65 and older receive complimentary admission to the galleries, guided tours, tickets to film screenings and a 10 percent discount on selected items in the museum’s shop and café.
Wheelchairs are available for those with limited mobility (inquire at the admissions desk), and service animals are allowed throughout the museum. High-contrast, large-print labels are provided for every exhibition.
On December 5, Free Seniors Day activities include a Writing Workshop (from 2-3:30pm). The theme — “Personal Pilgrimage” — asks participants to reflect on their personal history while touring the “Once Upon Many Times” exhibition — then create a short personal narrative about journeys in life. No writing experience is necessary, and all necessary materials are provided. Space is limited. To reserve a spot, send an email to reservations@rmanyc.org.
Visit rmanyc.org for more details. The Rubin Museum of Art is located at 150 W. 17th St. (btw. 6th & 7th Aves.). Verbal Description and Touch Tours take place on the third Thursday of each month (from 2-3:30pm). American Sign Language tours are free, and take place at 7pm on the third Friday of each month.
