Cantor Digital Guide

There is something new at the Cantor! We have joined Bloomberg Connects, an arts and culture app that enhances your visit to the museum while at the same time providing you with useful information about our open hours, cafe, parking, and so much more!

This digital guide goes beyond the traditional museum experience, taking you behind the scenes at the Cantor with exclusive, expanded content including audio guides from artists, curators, and more.

You can use this digital guide even before you come to the Cantor. The useful information contained in it can help you to plan your visit before you come and provide helpful insights once you are onsite. Afterward, dive deeper into your favorite works at home–or anywhere, anytime.
