The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts
This event has ended.
Lincoln Center: Celebrating 50 Years investigates the complex and symbiotic relationship between Lincoln Center and New York City over the course of a half century and the key role Lincoln Center has played in New York’s development as an international cultural capital. It is the first exhibition to focus exclusively on the evolution and influence of America’s first performing arts center, and features some 400 historic and contemporary objects including photographs, ephemera, correspondence, costumes, set pieces, props, and video recordings representing all 12 of the resident organizations
