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.
All Tenement Museum members are invited to a special virtual walking tour as we explore the history of New York’s Lower East Side through its architecture over the course of 200 years.
Members can make reservations to upcoming virtual programs through the event pages here.
You can find information on the upcoming member events here.
Even though the Museum’s doors are closed, our virtual doors are wide open! You may see all of the current annual benefits for membership and virtual engagement listed above or here.

Please reach out to [email protected] if you have a question about the status of your membership.
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.
Since we are currently working remotely, please contact the Membership Office at [email protected].
