Event
Come hang out on El Museo’s roof this summer!
As we renovate our courtyard and galleries, we’re taking the party to el techo—with Cielo Abierto sponsored by Bloomberg. Every third Saturday from June to September, we’ll host our Afternoons at El Rufo dance party on the roof—complete with panoramic views of Central Park and El Barrio—followed by indie film screenings in conjunction with Rooftop Films. And on two Thursdays, we bring traditional Latino dance music from Argentina and Puerto Rico for our Summer Nights concerts. For quieter fun, our book club offers chats with Latino authors.
Cielo Abierto programs are made possible with generous support from Bloomberg.
