Join fellow students and emerging professionals in a scavenger hunt! The New York Historical was founded in 1804 as the New-York Historical Society and was New York's first museum, presenting the history of New York and the nation. Small teams will follow clues leading them through the galleries to hidden fixtures, artifacts, architectural details, and one-of-a-kind pieces, then stay for drinks and snacks and to compare notes.

Spots are limited and opened only to our student and emerging professional members. Participants will be teamed up together and with our board members. Come solve the clues, meet new people, and explore this iconic resource!
