The Museum Mile Festival was developed in 1978 as a way of attracting new museum audiences and to increase support for the arts. It is held each June along Fifth Avenue from 82nd to 105th Streets, which is officially designated as “Museum Mile.”
Some museums are more attractive to visitors than others. For example, the line for the Neue Galerie begins to form well before the beginning hour; and the line stretches around the block. Fifth Avenue is closed to traffic, which makes it possible to offer art activities for children, music offerings, and dancing outdoors.
