(New York, July 12, 2016)—The Met Breuer will be open to the public on Friday and Saturday evenings until 9 p.m., beginning this week.
The new hours, which will now parallel the evening hours at The Met Fifth Avenue and this summer's special Friday evening hours at The Met Cloisters, are designed to better accommodate the public.
The Met Breuer, which opened to the public on March 18, 2016, was formerly open in the evenings on Thursdays and Fridays.
