Sure, it’s nice to have a whole day to stroll around the Met, but that’s not what the Museum Mile Festival (Tuesday 10) is about. Since the party only runs for three hours, from 6 to 9pm, make the most of it by hitting these essential exhibits. As you dash between venues, catch local music groups including Asphalt Orchestra and Avenida B performing along the avenue, which is car-free from 82nd Street to 105th Street.

Essential exhibitis to see

The Gugg goes all in for the United States’ first comprehensive survey of one of the most controversial movements in early modern art: Expect to find paintings, sculptures, architectural and design elements, ceramics, fashion, film, photography, advertising, free-form poetry, publications, and recordings of music, theater and performance art among the 360 works on view.

  • Painting
A pioneer of late-’60s Conceptual Art, Bochner plays with words and their associations, incorporating terms of both the four-letter and more refined varieties into his paintings, drawings and mixed-media works, in which the language is often as colorful as the art.
