Grab your friends and celebrate the 10th anniversary of Teens Take The Met! Drop in for teen-only activities across the Museum, including art making, performances, music, and more. Discover what you can also do at over 50 NYC cultural and community organizations.  

At MOCA’s activity station, we’ll be making art inspired by the sounds of Chinatown, your own neighborhood, and our special exhibition, Five Senses of Chinatown. What color is the sound of a basketball game? What texture is the shuffling of mahjong tiles? Is a sizzling wok a straight line or a curvy line? Let’s find out together!

Please note: this event is being hosted at The Met Fifth Avenue located at 1000 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10028.

Doors open at 4 pm. Teens Take The Met! is free and open to all teens 13+ with a middle or high school ID. Just show up or RSVP now to get a free ticket to beat the line. If you’re a chaperone who’d like to come with a group of 10 or more teens, please email teenprograms@metmuseum.org for instructions.
