Summary
August 7 marked the opening of the Balloon Museum at Manhattan’s Tin Building, giving the Seaport a 58,000-square-foot permanent venue for immersive inflatable art.
The New York site is the museum’s first permanent U.S. location and national flagship after the Italy-born concept launched in 2021 and toured Europe, North America and Asia.
“Daydream: Air Becomes Art” leads the debut, featuring Marina Abramović alongside Martin Creed, Alex Schweder, Thom Kubli and Karina Smigla-Bobinski in interactive large-scale installations.
Tickets are priced at $40 for adults, $33 for teens, seniors and adults with disabilities, and $26 for children 12 and under; the museum is open seven days a week.
