New York, York, May 7, 2025 – The Paley Museum announces its latest blockbuster exhibit, 30 Years of Everybody Loves Raymond: A Behind-the-Scenes Tribute. Commemorating thirty years of the series, the exhibit will feature costumes, props, photos, rare video footage, and more from the series, and will open at The Paley Museum in Midtown Manhattan on Friday, June 13 and run through Sunday, September 7. Additionally, The Paley Museum will host in-person events featuring the stars and creative team plus screenings celebrating this exciting exhibit.
“Everybody Loves Raymond has earned its place as one of television’s most popular and beloved sitcoms, and we’re honored to celebrate its 30th anniversary with this special exhibit at The Paley Museum,” said Maureen J. Reidy, President and CEO of The Paley Center for Media. “We’re thrilled to welcome Ray Romano, Phil Rosenthal, and members of the cast and creative team on June 16, as fans join us in paying tribute to the show’s enduring legacy.”
Over the course of nine seasons, Everybody Loves Raymond delighted audiences with its heartwarming storylines featuring the hilarious adventures of the Barone family. The series continues to delight new generations of television audiences and now fans can step into the world of the Barones in this immersive exhibit. 30 Years of Everybody Loves Raymond: A Behind-the-Scenes Tribute features costumes including those worn by Ray Romano (Ray), Patricia Heaton (Debra), Doris Roberts (Marie), Peter Boyle (Frank), and Brad Garrett (Robert); and props and artifacts including Frank and Marie’s big fork and spoon, the infamous canister, and the toaster Ray gave his parents as a Christmas gift. Visitors can snap a photo at the iconic kitchen table, the setting of so many of the show’s classic scenes, or relax on Ray and Debra’s famous couch, the heart of many unforgettable moments. The exhibit will also feature rare footage and photos from the set including video of writer’s room conversations and behind-the-scenes banter among the cast and crew.
To celebrate the launch of the exhibit, The Paley Museum will host two in-person events. On Monday, June 16, members of the cast and creative team will reunite for a behind-the-scenes look at the show’s iconic finale with never-before-heard stories, fan-favorite moments, and a few surprise revelations. The evening will feature series star Ray Romano, series creator Phil Rosenthal, and other members of the cast and creative team. The event will begin at 7:00 pm, and Paley Patron Circle Members can enjoy a private reception with Ray Romano and Phil Rosenthal prior to start of the event. Tickets for this program are now on sale to all Paley President’s Circle, Patron Circle, and Partner Members; to Paley Individual, Family, and Supporting Members on Thursday, May 8 at noon ET; and to the general public on Friday, May 9 at noon ET.
On Wednesday, June 18, at 4pm The Paley Museum will host the latest event in its acclaimed Conversation with a Curator series: Everybody Loves Raymond to Hello! Hi! How Are You? The conversation will feature Paley Senior Curator, Ron Simon, and Tom Caltabiano, the Emmy Award-winning writer and co-executive producer of Everybody Loves Raymond and the creator and voice of the popular children’s character Mr. Clown, now seen on PBS. Tom is also an accomplished photographer, having taken over 30,000 behind-the-scenes photographs on the Raymond set.
