Fun at 37th Annual “Museum Mile” Festival, NYC

37th Annual “Museum Mile” Festival took place at Fifth Ave from 82nd to 105th Streets on Tuesday, June 9th, 2015, from 6 to 9 pm.

The first festival, held in June of 1978, was an instant success.

New York City has officially designated Fifth Avenue from 82nd to 105th streets “Museum Mile” because of the vast richness and cultural diversity of the nine museums found there.
