New York Sign Museum May 1st Tour

We are conveniently located a couple of blocks from the Broadway Junction A/C/J/L subway stop and across the street from the LIRR East New York stop/the LIRR underground walkway tunnel.

As the musuem is located within an active sign making workshop, we ask that you please show up no earlier than 10 minutes before the tour as we do not have a lobby or waiting area. We try to start tours within 5 minutes of the start time, so please be on time!

Accessibility: The museum is located across two stories; the first floor is accessed with a small step, while the upstairs is only accessible via a full two flight staircase. Closed-toe shoes are required! All children must be accompanied by adult.

Serving as a resource for community members, historians, and designers alike, the New York Sign Museum is a registered nonprofit organization with the mission of preserving historic signage from around the New York metropolitan area. Currently incubating in Noble Signs' fabrication and design studios, the museum collection includes over 40 full-scale rescued storefront signs and dozens of other small pieces and ephemera.

See the collection and an active sign shop where signs are still made the old-fashioned way, situated in an amazing one-of-a-kind prewar factory space with original details including glass block walls, art deco tin ceilings, stained glass dividers, and a functioning dumbwaiter.
