Please note: While the Museum’s doors remain closed due to the pandemic, the Tenement member community remains strong and vibrant. We have tailored Membership benefits to reflect our current virtual offerings, as well as providing early-bird access to limited walking tour tickets, starting this fall.
Thank you for your support! Below are your virtual benefits, and FAQs you will find helpful for navigating your Museum membership.
Register now for our most epic and accessible gala ever on April 29! This year, we are honoring the 4,000 donors who came forward to help us in our time of need — including you, our loyal members. The event will include a sneak peek of our new permanent exhibit exploring Black history in Lower Manhattan, and a behind the scenes look at the ongoing stabilization of our historic tenement buildings.
For the first time, you have the option to attend our gala for free or with a suggested donation. Sponsorship and tickets are also available with special benefits. All funds raised for this gala will provide crucial support for the Museum’s continued survival.
Members can make reservations to upcoming virtual programs through the event pages here.

The Membership Office is currently working remotely, so at this time, we are not able to send out membership cards. If you would like a membership card when we are able to return to the office, please let us know by contacting [email protected]. Otherwise, your membership can be located using your name and address, so physical members cards are not necessary.
A portion of each membership contribution is tax deductible. Since the Membership Office is working remotely due to the Museum’s current closure, you will receive a tax receipt via email after you purchase your membership.
