Hours:
Monday – Thursday: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM
Friday – Sunday: 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM

The internationally acclaimed Balloon Museum is making its permanent New York debut this summer with DAYDREAM: AIR BECOMES ART, an immersive exhibition that transforms air into interactive works of contemporary art.

Opening July 15 at the historic Tin Building in the Seaport, the exhibition invites visitors into a dreamlike world of large-scale inflatable installations, immersive environments, and interactive experiences designed to be explored rather than simply observed.

Leading the exhibition is renowned performance artist Marina Abramović's Snowy/Windy/Spring on Planet Z, her first-ever artwork created using air as a primary medium. The installation places visitors inside an otherworldly landscape featuring inflatable grass and swirling artificial snow.

Additional highlights include Martin Creed's Half the Air in a Given Space, a transparent room filled with hundreds of blue balloons; Alex Schweder's Her Joy, a constantly rising and falling mirrored sphere; Karina Smigla-Bobinski's ADA, a helium-filled sculpture covered in charcoal spikes that leaves marks as it moves; and Hyperstudio's Invisible Ballet, a floating choreography of chrome balloons moving throughout the space.

Designed to appeal to both contemporary art enthusiasts and families, DAYDREAM combines playful exploration with internationally recognized artists, creating an experience that is equally engaging for adults and children.

As Balloon Museum establishes its first permanent U.S. flagship in New York City, DAYDREAM marks a new chapter for one of the world's most successful immersive art concepts, bringing together contemporary art, technology, performance, and audience participation under one roof.

Decanter Fine Wine Encounter New York returns on Saturday, June 6, bringing together a global line-up of leading producers and wine experts for a one-day tasting experience set on the 60th floor of Manhatta, overlooking the Manhattan skyline.

Now in its fifth edition, the event offers a carefully curated programme designed for collectors, enthusiasts and industry professionals seeking direct access to exceptional wines and the people behind them.

At the heart of the day is the Grand Tasting, featuring more than 200 wines from 55 world-class producers, including Bollinger, Ridge Vineyards, Frescobaldi, Williams Selyem, Pahlmeyer and Pietradolce. Guests can taste at their own pace while engaging directly with winemakers and estate representatives.

A program of curated masterclasses will focus on key regions and benchmark producers, including Champagne Salon & Delamotte, Super Tuscans and Napa Valley’s Heitz Cellar. Sessions will be led by leading voices in wine, including Master Sommeliers Carlton McCoy and Pascaline Lepeltier, among others.

For those seeking a more intimate experience, a limited number of Winemakers’ Lunches will offer the opportunity to dine with producers such as Dr. Laura Catena (Catena Zapata) and Katie Vogt (Pahlmeyer), providing deeper insight into their wines and winemaking philosophies.

In addition, attendees will be able to explore a curated selection of Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA) winners, showcasing top-scoring wines from one of the world’s most influential wine competitions.

‘Decanter Fine Wine Encounter is about bringing together exceptional wines, the people behind them, and an audience that values both,’ said Decanter Magazine Editor Amy Wislocki. ‘New York is one of the world’s most dynamic wine cities, and this event offers a rare opportunity to taste broadly, learn directly from leading experts and discover wines at the highest level.’
