Special Exhibition Tour
A public tour focused specifically on current special exhibitions is available at 2 pm on the second Saturday of each month. This tour does not require prior arrangements and begins in the Museum lobby.
First Friday Spotlight Tour
This short, 20-minute tour is narrowly focused on a single theme and is the perfect break from the First Friday action of the Grand Lobby. The tour starts at the information desk. Gallery admission is free on Friday.
Slow Art Tour
The aim of the Slow Art movement is to break with the often frenetic pace of modern life to simply enjoy works of art in a deliberate and unhurried fashion. Slow Art at the Modern invests in this pause with a 25-minute spotlight tour focusing on one work of art.
Slow Art Tours are every third Friday and are free with no registration required. The tour starts near the information desk.

Viva Kid Flicks
New York International Children’s Film Festival Viva Kid Flicks celebrates the best Spanish-language short films from around the globe.
Kid Flicks Two
With shorts for ages 7+, Kid Flicks Two audiences are ready for plenty of fun, plus deeper themes and multilingual films with English subtitles. Stop motion equals nonstop action in Wild Lea, as a feral Colombian cat goes from lonely to loved, but can she learn to settle down with her new makeshift family? And if kooky tales are what you’re craving, you’ll flip your lid over the hilariously absurd split personalities of Matilda and the Spare Head.
Kid Flicks One
Share your love of cinema with your little ones with Kid Flicks One, curated to charm all ages and especially introduce our youngest viewers, ages 3+, to their very first screen experiences. Little Emi in The Yogi Walrus craves ice cream and always wants more, but learning to savor is the cherry on top. Meanwhile, in Kenya’s Symphony, a stubborn 5-year-old reluctantly heads off to a performance with her mom, but when the music starts, will a passion bloom?
Women with Soul

Woman on Fire
This portrait of courage under fire celebrates NYC’s first openly transgender firefighter. For Brooke Guinan, fighting fires runs in her blood – both her father and grandfather served in the FDNY. But as a transgender woman, her path to service has not been without obstacles. Transitioning from male to female in what is still an overwhelmingly macho profession proves a challenge for her coworkers and her family, while her boyfriend reckons with the impact of Brooke’s newly public profile on his parents.
