El Museo del Barrio is back and better than ever. Located in East Harlem (colloquially known as Spanish Harlem or El Barrio, which means "the neighborhood"), and one of the nine institutions that make up Fifth Avenue's Museum Mile, the museum celebrates the work of Latin American, Puerto Rican and Caribbean artists. The museum's reopening after a state-of-the-art redesign and renovation coincides with its 40th anniversary as the leading Latino cultural institution in New York. The sleek new space features a futuristic, glass-encased lobby, along with a pan-Latin café and an expanded gift shop.

The museum continues to offer groundbreaking exhibitions, multimedia performances, panel discussions, a book club and Target Free Saturdays—aka Super Sábado—held the third Saturday of every month. The exhibition Nexus New York: Latin/American Artists in the Modern Metropolis, running through February, brings together work from Latin American and Caribbean artists whose creative efforts shaped the American avant-garde in the decades before World War II. Whether you're looking to further appreciate your own heritage or broaden your cultural horizons, El Museo welcomes you—museum director Julián Zugazagoitia calls the East Harlem institution "a gateway to El Barrio." To celebrate its designation as Culture Spot for November, El Museo del Barrio is offering "dos por uno" (two for one) adult admission and half off the price of membership all month. Members enjoy free admission, invitations to openings and special events, discounts and more.

Special Offer: The "dos por uno" adult admission and 50% discount on “Amigo” Membership are valid with a coupon throughout the month of November. Coupons will be available all month at the Official NYC Information Center–Midtown, Official NYC Information Center–Times Square Alliance, Official NYC Information Center–Harlem, Official NYC Information Center–Federal Hall, Official NYC Information Kiosk–City Hall and Official NYC Information Kiosk–Chinatown.
