The Paley Museum, 25 West 52 Street, NYC
Come to a very special exhibit a century in the making! Celebrate NBC’s historic centennial at The Paley Museum by journeying through 100 years of groundbreaking radio and television, unforgettable stars, and iconic moments—from the network’s beginnings as a radio pioneer to today’s modern media trailblazer. Across three museum floors, guests will travel through the decades and experience the shows, stars, and moments that helped define NBC and shape the media landscape.
Friends, Seinfeld, Law & Order, The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, TODAY, The Golden Girls, ER, The Voice, The Howdy Doody Show, Miami Vice, The West Wing, Saturday Night Live, and Parks and Recreation are just a few of the landmark shows brought to life through rare photographs, props, artifacts, costumes, and interactive displays. See Joey’s “many clothes” costume from Friends and a signature Elaine costume from Seinfeld. Along the way, take a seat in The Voice coaches’ chair, stand with a larger-than-life statue from The Traitors, and step onto an Olympic Games victory podium for unforgettable photo moments.
It’s a must-see celebration for fans of every generation—and the perfect opportunity to revisit favorite shows, discover legendary moments, and experience 100 years of NBC.
