Count me in. From Artlog.com:
Starting today you can get a key to unlock NYC’s secret doors; at least all the interesting ones. Creative Time and the City of New York have collaborated with artist Paul Ramirez Jonas and created this summer’s coolest scavenger hunt. With Key to the City they have reinvented and democratized the civic honor of bestowing keys to visiting dignitaries. … Ramirez Jonas’ Key to the City actually unlocks steel gates, padlocks, PO boxes, secret doors and secret compartments at over 20 sites throughout the five boroughs of NYC. The key will unlock:
– A secret door on the fifth floor of the Brooklyn Museum
- A box with limited admission buttons per day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
- A do-it-yourself artist studio and gallery in the Point Community Development Corporation in the Bronx
- The churchyard that contains Hamilton’s tomb at Trinity Church
- A box at coat check with a preview of the Whitney Museum’s future
- A room in the Louis Armstrong House Museum not on the public tour
- A closet in the master bedroom on the 2nd floor of Gracie Mansion
- A garden maintained by the monks at the Staten Island Buddhist Vihara
