Health and Safety
Masks are not required but are strongly recommended for all Museum visitors. Children under the age of 5 are not permitted on in-person building tours, but are welcome to attend a neighborhood walking tour or visit us virtually.
The Tenement Museum tells the stories of working-class tenement residents, who moved to New York City from other countries and other parts of the country. Their work helped build the city and nation, and their stories help us understand our history. The museum shares these stories through guided tours of recreated tenement apartments, neighborhood walking tours, and virtual tours and programs.
