Wikimania Takes Manhattan II/Museums

From Wikimania

Museum and other tours and activities for Wikimania Takes Manhattan II on Sunday August 5 and Monday August 6 in New York City.

You will identify us by our wiki-shirts and paraphenalia (and wear your own!).

Please check back at this page for updates, as times and locations may change.

Sunday: Museum of Modern Art

The Museum of Modern Art you normally need to pay for, but they gave us a bunch of free passes.

  • Meet at 11:00 AM at 4 West 54th Street (this is not the main entrance, it's the Cullman Education and Research Building).

We'll have activities after in the day as well, and let us know if you're arriving at a later time.

Sign-up

Monday: Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Metropolitan Museum of Art we don't necessarily have passes for, but it is suggested admission (you can give whatever amount you wish). We'll be meeting with Met staff who worked on WikiProject Metropolitan Museum of Art and the release of 375,000 images under Creative Commons Zero.

  • Meet at 11:00 AM inside up the grand stairway to the Great Hall, by the large Egyptian sculpture.

We'll have activities after in the day as well, and let us know if you're arriving at a later time.
