The Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced that it will be an early voting site for the upcoming New York State primary elections. The announcement came earlier this week and it marks the first time in 151 years that the Met will host voters, joining institutions like Lincoln Center, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum of the Moving Image facilitating early voters in previous years. Kym Rice is Interim Director of Corcoran School of Arts and Design in Washington DC. We discuss the potential significance of the Met’s decision, and how it may influence how other cultural institutions engage with political happenings moving forward.
