There’s seeing a Broadway show, and then there’s stepping completely inside one. Right in the heart of Times Square, The Museum of Broadway pulls back the curtain on nearly 300 years of theatrical history, taking you from Broadway’s earliest stages to the blockbuster productions lighting up marquees today. Across three floors, wander among original costumes & props, larger-than-life installations, immersive set recreations and plenty of moments made for your camera roll, all while standing just steps from the theaters where the magic actually happens.
Grab your $35 GA Ticket (a $53 value) for the Next Available Timeslot and embark on a chronological journey through Broadway history. Go behind the scenes of legendary productions, get up close to pieces from beloved shows, discover the artists who transformed musical theater and learn how a Broadway production goes from an idea to opening night. Theater obsessive or total newcomer, this is one history lesson that comes with considerably more sequins.
Want the VIP treatment? Upgrade to the $49 Backstage Pass Ticket (a $79 value) and you'll also score a Limited-Edition Lanyard, 15% Off At The Museum Gift Shop, plus Exclusive Discounts With Participating Museum Restaurant Partners for up to 48 Hours After Your Visit. Browse the shop for Broadway-inspired apparel, ornaments, accessories, souvenirs & gifts before heading back out into the bright lights of Times Square.
Allow at least an hour to explore, although serious Broadway fans could easily linger longer. You'll discover the stories behind the shows you love, peek into the backstage world audiences rarely get to see and experience Broadway history on Broadway itself.
Applauded by The New York Times, CNN, and Thrillist, this is your invitation to go beyond the orchestra seats and discover how the greatest stage in the world became exactly that...
You couldn't really ask for a more fitting address. The Museum of Broadway sits on West 45th Street, surrounded by the marquees, theaters and electric Times Square energy that have made this pocket of Manhattan synonymous with show business. Opened in 2022 as Broadway's first permanent museum, the experience celebrates not just the shows audiences know by heart, but the performers, playwrights, composers, designers, technicians and countless backstage creatives responsible for bringing them to life.
Rather than putting Broadway history behind glass and calling it a day, the museum turns it into something you can walk through. Its timeline unfolds chronologically, tracing three centuries of New York theater and exploring landmark moments, groundbreaking productions and the evolution of the Theater District itself. Along the way, immersive rooms, original artifacts, costumes, props & installations transport you into the worlds of iconic productions, making the experience feel somewhere between a museum, backstage tour and love letter to New York.
Then there's The Making of a Broadway Show, where the spotlight shifts from what audiences see onstage to everything that happens behind the curtain. Discover how writers, directors, choreographers, costume and scenic designers, stage managers and other theater professionals work together to transform an idea into eight performances a week. It's the kind of insider access that gives you a whole new appreciation for what happens when the house lights go down.
Before your final bow, make time for the museum shop, a Broadway lover's treasure trove stocked with show-inspired apparel, books, accessories, ornaments, collectibles & NYC-worthy souvenirs. Backstage Pass holders get 15% off, making a little post-museum retail therapy particularly tempting. Then step outside and you're immediately back where the story continues: Broadway itself, with some of New York's most legendary theaters only moments away.
For theater lovers, visitors and New Yorkers who've somehow never looked beyond the marquee, consider this your all-access pass to the magic behind the curtain...

The Museum of Broadway garners an incredible 4.8 Stars from 1,915+ reviews on Google including:
"I was pleasantly surprised by this museum. As a Broadway buff, I thought this would be a tourist trap and light on the information. I was very wrong. We attended the museum and it was so in-depth and interactive! The amount of information is vast. We also loved all the photo opportunities. For me, seeing the models of the Gershwin (Wicked) and the Imperial (The Great Comet) was a huge highlight. All in, we spent about an hour and 45 minutes in there. It was time well spent and I wouldn’t mind going back for another in-depth look."
"I had the most amazing time!! I visited solo and the staff were just absolutely lovely, everyone was so friendly and kind and we had great conversations! Was an amazing time and would come again."
"Had the absolute BEST experience at the Museum of Broadway! From start to finish, it felt like stepping right into the heart and soul of Broadway history. Incredibly immersive, packed with fascinating stories, behind-the-scenes insights, and so many iconic moments from theater history that I never knew before. I walked away with a whole new appreciation for the artistry and legacy of Broadway. If you’re even remotely a theater fan, 100% worth it. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!"
