A ‘town square for the arts and humanities’: The new Princeton University Art Museum shares opening details
The new Princeton University Art Museum will open to the public with a 24-hour celebration from 5 p.m. on Oct. 31 to 5 p.m. on Nov. 1, 2025, featuring free activities for all ages including tours, artmaking, live performances, film screenings, poetry readings, and morning yoga. Planning began in 2012, and the museum, located at the heart of Princeton’s campus, roughly doubles the space for exhibition, conservation, and study. Princeton students will preview the museum on Oct. 25, followed by a members’ preview on Oct. 26 and faculty/staff previews earlier that week.
