New Museum hikes entry at popular Carsten Höller show
The Carsten Höller installation at the New Museum — featuring a multi-floor slide and a sensory deprivation pool that invites naked participation — has proved so popular that the admission price has nudged up to $16 from $12.
“Due to unprecedented attendance for the Carsten Holler exhibition and increased staffing needs, we have increased admission prices,” Gabriel Einsohn, communications director for the New Museum, wrote in an email to NewYorkology. “It is most likely not a permanent increase.”
The new prices went into effect in early November. Previously, general admission was $12 and is now $16; admission for seniors increased to $14 from $10 while the student rate went to $12 from $8. Admission remains free for museum goers under 18, Einsohn said.
Admission also remains free for everyone every Thursday evening from 7 to 9 p.m..
