reSOUND New York at Hero, Rockefeller Center

Seventeen art projects across eight light-and-sound rooms below Rockefeller Center — the immersive show's final stretch before it closes.

Take the stairs down from Fifth Avenue and reSOUND swaps daylight for eight rooms of sound, light and texture: Shoplifter's hair-like Fathoms, D'strict's Flow, a Tactile Orchestra you play by touch. It is multisensory rather than screen-driven, which makes it good for families and for anyone tired of projection-mapped Van Gogh. With the run ending the following weekend, this is one of the last chances to walk through.

What to expect

Visitors move at their own pace through eight stages holding 17 works, with guides on hand to explain the interactive pieces; a typical visit runs 30 to 45 minutes. Some nights the rooms host listening parties, performances or watch parties, so the space can change between visits.

Good to know

  • Nearest trains: the B, D, F and M at 47–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center.
  • The entrance is on the rink level below the plaza, reached by stairs from Fifth Avenue.
  • Photos are welcome, but flash, tripods and professional gear are not.
  • Date changes are allowed with advance notice if plans shift.
  • Budget under an hour, then pair it with the Rockefeller Center plaza above.
