You Should Be Dancing: New York, 1976 and Beyond

You Should Be Dancing: New York, 1976 and Beyond takes visitors back to a decade when the new music genres of punk, disco, and hip hop sprang up in New York City and then exploded across the world. The exhibition explores how, in a time of financial crisis, New York City cultivated a new generation of creativity and celebration. Featuring musical instruments, performance gear, fashion items, period photographs, albums, flyers, and performance clips presented within spaces reminiscent of the clubs, bars, and gathering places of the time, You Should Be Dancing illustrates the lasting impact this era has had on American culture at large.
