🎪Environment/Facilities:
The exterior is a retractable polymer roof that slides to transform into an open-air plaza or an enclosed theater depending on the event. The interior features a 360-degree surround LED wall and a mobile sound system, and the rooftop terrace boasts a suspended viewing walkway.
🕰️Hours:
Wednesday-Sunday 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM (extended until closing time on performance days).
*Exhibition and performance times vary, please check the official website.
💞Recommended:
1️⃣ Architectural High-Tech: The world's first retractable cultural institution, its mechanical exterior reminiscent of a sci-fi movie set when it slides.
2️⃣ A Pioneer Experience: It frequently hosts limited-time immersive theater (such as the interactive dance performance "Dragon Scale Suit") and AI art exhibitions, allowing participants to participate in digital art creation.
3️⃣ Hidden Camera Spot: The fifth-floor terrace offers unobstructed views of the Vessel and the Hudson River at sunset. The neon lights reflected off the metal exterior create a futuristic, ultra-sounding experience.
4️⃣ Weekend Bonus: Free Saturday workshops allow you to experiment with movable architectural models, and Sunday evening performances often feature pop-up performances.
💰Average Cost:
Exhibitions $15/person, performances starting at $45 (Wednesday pay-what-you-wish).
