New York Responds
Now on View
 
At this moment of crisis and change, the Museum of the City of New York wants to share your stories of how our city is experiencing both the COVID-19 pandemic and the uprising against police violence. The Museum has unveiled the first phase of an outdoor installation featuring some of the many images that have already been submitted to us. This will serve as a starting point for a new exhibition that will open at the Museum later this year to tell the stories of 2020 and imagine what’s next for our city.
