NYC is the city that never sleeps so it's fair to assume that some of our museums stay open late! If you work a day job, it's often impossible to visit museums because they usually close by 6pm on most days. But some of them have late hours on certain days of the week — and that includes major institutions such as the Met, the Guggenheim and MoMA.

Just for the night owls among us, check out our list of all the late museum hours in NYC you should know about. Extra perk: Some of these late-night hours happen to coincide with free or cheaper-than-normal admission, too.
