Alternative Archives is the smaller of the two shows closing at the Bronx Museum, which makes it the one most likely to be missed and most worth catching, because studio-program exhibitions rarely get a second life. Paired with the AIM Biennial it makes a compact free afternoon of Bronx-made work. This is genuinely the last chance, since the museum is dark Monday and Tuesday.
What to expect
A single-gallery presentation inside a mid-size museum currently under renovation but open on its normal schedule. Expect an hour at most, which is why it works best combined with the AIM Biennial. The building sits on the art deco stretch of the Grand Concourse, which is worth the walk in either direction.
Good to know
- B or D to 167th Street, or the 4 to 167th Street, then a short walk to 1040 Grand Concourse.
- Admission is always free for everyone; no ticket required.
- The museum is closed Mondays and Tuesdays, so this weekend is the last chance to see the show.
- See it alongside the seventh AIM Biennial, which closes the same day in the same building.
- The museum remains open through its renovation, so some circulation routes may be altered.

Common questions
Is it free?
Yes. The Bronx Museum of the Arts is free for everyone on every day it is open.
When does it close?
It closes at the end of this weekend, and the museum is shut Mondays and Tuesdays, so there is no chance to catch it afterwards.
What else is on at the same time?
The Seventh AIM Biennial: Forms of Connection closes on the same day in the same building, so one visit covers both.
