Museum Mile Festival today
One day a year, for the past 29 years, nine of the country's finest museums, all ones that call Fifth Avenue home, collectively open their doors for free to New Yorkers and visitors for a mile-long block party and visual art celebration. This traffic-free, music- and art-filled celebration fills the street and sidewalks of Fifth Avenue from 82nd to 105th street, the mile now officially designated as Museum Mile. Over 50,000 visitors attend the festival annually.This year's 30th annual festival kicks off at Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum with an opening ceremony, at 5:45pm, on the steps of its landmark building on Fifth Avenue @ 91st Street (June 3, 2008).
Plus, follow the mile with street muralist De La Vega - grab a piece of chalk and make your mark!

It's amazing that this is one of the only posts here that has no comments. You people really aren't interested in art? I hope this is only because the post is 3 hours old... but still...
