Image details

Nearing 50 years since opening, the Saint Peter’s building continues to be an immensely public building with art, cultural, and community programming on a daily basis. As New York City's youngest landmark and soon to be listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, Saint Peter's Church is an iconic part of the Citigroup Center in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. The late modernist corporate-church complex, by Hugh Stubbins and Easley Hamner (architects) and Lella and Massimo Vignelli (interiors), helped navigate the course of the City's path away from bankruptcy in the 1970s. Also inside is Nevelson Chapel, a sculptural environment by one of New York City's most celebrated artists, Louise Nevelson.

 

Visitors can explore the space using our online guide or speaking with docents stationed throughout the building. Every level of this building has areas to explore that show the rich history, a commitment to New York City, and promise for the future.

 

Free to all. Advanced registration recommended.

 

This is a self-guided tour in connection to the Open House New York Festival.
