The Museum of Broadway

Step inside the Museum of Broadway and discover the stories behind the shows that have shaped New York’s most famous stage. Throughout the museum, interactive exhibits highlight legendary performers, landmark productions, and the behind-the-scenes creativity that brings Broadway to life. From original costumes and set pieces to rare photographs and memorabilia, the collection offers a closer look at the craft and history of live theatre.

The experience begins in 1732, tracing Broadway’s evolution from its earliest performances through to the present day. As you move through the galleries, you’ll see how Broadway has continually reflected – and challenged – social attitudes, pushing creative boundaries and influencing culture far beyond New York City.

Themed exhibition spaces focus on different eras, styles, and genres, allowing you to explore iconic shows while also discovering new favourites. Along the way, hands-on displays invite visitors of all ages to get involved – whether that means stepping onto a mock stage, engaging with performance-inspired activities, or immersing yourself in the sound and spectacle of Broadway’s greatest moments.
