Museum of Broadway

Summer 2022 near Times Square, the first-ever permanent museum dedicated to the "Great White Way" and its legacy of musicals, plays, and theaters, as well as the pioneering figures who helped shape it—from players to costume designers—opens. The multi-story Museum of Broadway will feature both interactive installations (which are still in the works) and traditional exhibits that recount the story of the famed theatrical area, from its beginnings in 1735 to current performances like Hamilton.

This fusion of art and technology will be divided into three sections: a Broadway map room with immersive video projections; a visual Broadway timeline with stories behind groundbreaking musicals like Hair and Rent, as well as how women led the way in much of Broadway's early storytelling; and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a Broadway show, from set design to lighting. Show-specific merchandise, as well as bespoke Broadway mementos, are sold in an on-site retail store.
