Overview
- Free entry begins January 1, 2026 and runs through 2028, aligning with PS1’s 50th-anniversary programming.
- Coverage reports Yu’s donation at $900,000, though the museum has not confirmed the amount.
- The policy expands a program that has been free for New York residents since 2015; nonresidents previously paid $10 for adults.
- PS1 says the change will make it the largest free museum in New York City, and leaders rejected a pay-what-you-wish model to avoid confusion.
- Director Connie Butler cites audience growth and inclusion as goals and expresses optimism about continuing free access as many major museums charge about $30.
