Mon – Fri: 10 am – 12 pmThe museum has partnered with the Center for Architecture Foundation to provide a dual visit program. After a morning tour of the museum’s exhibition, students head to the Center for Architecture (536 LaGuardia Place between West Third and Bleecker Streets) for a two-hour workshop in which students create three-dimensional models to explore issues in architecture, engineering, urban planning and sustainability.
The tour and workshop can take place on the same day or different days.
