On Tuesday, February 2, 18 major New York City-area institutions will be joining forces to celebrate their unique collections and spaces on Instagram.  This initiative is the first of its kind among major institutions in the United States.

Each participating museum is paired with a partner institution (detailed below). Museum partner representatives will visit each other’s location to take photographs that resonate with their own collections, exhibitions and themes, with the goal that each museum’s unique focus will offer new perspectives on their partner museum. On February 2, each museum will showcase its experience with their partner museum on Instagram using the hashtag #MuseumInstaSwap. The public is encouraged to follow and interact to discover what the museums found in each other’s spaces.

The museum participants are paired as follows:

• American Museum of Natural History @AMNH
• The Museum of Modern Art @themuseumofmodernart

• Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum @intrepidmuseum
