The Bronx Museum of the Arts is an
internationally recognized cultural
destination that presents innovative
contemporary art exhibitions and education
programs and is committed to promoting
cross-cultural dialogues for diverse
audiences. Since its founding in 1971, the
Museum has played a vital role in the Bronx
by helping to make art accessible to the
entire community and connecting with local
schools, artists, teens, and families
through its robust education initiatives. In
celebration of its 40th anniversary, the
Museum implemented a universal free
admission policy, supporting its mission to
make arts experiences available to all
audiences. The Museum’s collection comprises
over 1,200 modern and contemporary artworks
in all media and highlights work by artists
of African, Asian, and Latin-American
ancestry, as well as artists for whom the
Bronx has been critical to their
development.
