We are excited to announce our curated schedule of virtual tours for the spring season! You now have multiple opportunities to explore the Museum from anywhere in the world, with nine different virtual tour programs offered at least once every week, Tuesdays through Saturdays. Every three months we will rotate in new topical tour programs for you to explore.
Virtual Tenement Tours
During a live, online tour, our Tenement Museum Educators will take you into the historically restored apartments using pre-recorded video, audio and images, and share stories of a family who lived in our historic buildings in the 19th and 20th centuries. Along with a glimpse of the past, visitors glean insights from educators who offer historical perspectives that relate to current conversations about immigration.

Virtual building tours are $10/device, Costumed Interpreter/Meet the Residents tours are $15/device. All virtual tours are free for Museum members.
