The Rubin Museum is planning to reopen on September 12! We have been working hard to create a safe and inspiring experience at the Museum and are thrilled to welcome back our communities.

The health and safety of our visitors is our top priority, so we’ve enacted new protocols, including limiting gallery capacity to allow for social distancing, timed entry tickets, and increased cleaning. All visitors must wear face masks. Learn more about our safety protocols and what to expect at the Rubin.
