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 Fridays.
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.
Click through to the individual tour pages below to see our upcoming schedule, or use our full tour calendar to search by day of the week.
Virtual building tours are $10/device, Costumed Interpreter/Meet the Residents tours are $15/device. All virtual tours are free for Museum members.
Automatic captioning is available for all virtual tours. For live captioning or ASL interpretation please contact [email protected] two weeks in advance.
Watch our Virtual Gala Film
You’ll get 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.
