NewYorkology: February Discounts at MoMA

NewYorkology reports come to Jaunted courtesy of Amy Langfield.

Since the Museum of Modern Art opened in its new building more than a year ago, the place feels packed with crowds at almost all hours. One way to get some privacy is to book a private tour either before the museum opens or closes.

True it's more expensive, but the private MoMA tours are discounted during February. As per MoMA's website:

Tours for Two at MoMA
This February, enjoy a romantic after-hours Tour for Two of MoMA's galleries! A special 50% discount is available on Tours for Two taking place in February, Saturday through Thursday, 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. These private guided tours include collection highlights such as Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night and Henri Matisse's Dance (I). Call MoMA Group Services at (212) 708-9685 or e-mail groupservices@moma.org for reservations. Some restrictions may apply.

The before-hours tours regularly cost $50 per person, while the evening ones are $60 per person. A number of other institutions run private or backstage tours in New York landmarks, including Carnegie Hall, Yankee Stadium and City Hall.
