Step into Hopper in NYC’s Meatpacking District

The Whitney is home to the most Edward Hopper works of any museum worldwide and each year celebrates the artist’s birthday (July 22). This year, the Meatpacking BID, in partnership with the museum, is taking the celebrations to new heights with large-scale, 3-D interactive installations on Gansevoort Plaza.

Visitors will be able to step inside recreations of three of Hopper’s most recognizable pieces to pose and create their own interpretations of the works with the help of live performers.

Featured installations

Nighthawks – Take a seat inside Hopper’s iconic diner scene, complete with a live barista serving coffee from a neighborhood vendor on Saturday, July 20 and Sunday, July 21, from 11 a.m. onward while supplies last.

Soir Bleu – Transporting visitors into Hopper’s introspective take on French café culture, a clown performer will be present on Friday, July 19, Saturday, July 20 and Sunday, July 21 to set the scene.
