The Tenement Museum does not offer a Library Membership, though we do have various individual membership levels that may interest your patrons, which are listed on our Membership page. Alternatively, we also offer private virtual tours.

During a private virtual tour, an educator guides participants through a historic tour via Zoom – using oral histories, images, documents, and videos. These events lend themselves to lively conversations between participants and the educator. Learn more about Group Reservations.
