Overview
The New York State Museum has several facilities available for rent, including the Fourth Floor Terrace Gallery, exhibition halls and several meeting rooms. These facilities are available for both private and public events. Fees for rental of Museum facilities and the specific terms of rental are available.
Because of the uniqueness of our collection and our facility, the Museum does not allow any activity or event that may result in damage or disturbance to the collection or facility. Events may not interfere with public use during business hours. All activities, events or entertainment at the Museum must be appropriate for the facility and be approved in advance by the Museum.
The Fourth Floor Terrace offers a dramatic venue appropriate for almost any event, with an amazing view of the Empire State Plaza and Capitol Building. The Terrace is also home to our historic Carousel, which serves as a unique backdrop to any special event. This space is frequently used for wedding receptions, special events, and conferences.
