The Valentine’s Museum is a playful exploration of love from all angles. The ups-and-downs of modern romance, the joy of friendship, the humor of the holiday, and the hidden love all around us. Surprises around every corner! And, of course, a sickening amount of pink.
Come for a sickening amount of pink and an exclusive first look at the Museum. Come because New York in February is cold, and this room will be warm. Come because you’ve had a "bad date" story you’re dying to laugh about. Come to support local artists, find a new way to give back, and see what happens when we stop taking the holiday so seriously and start emphasizing the love of it all.
You can purchase a ticket to the gala and other dates here.
If you couldn’t tell by now, we are fans of a sickening amount of pink. The gala’s dress code is fun, flirty, and YOU!
We absolutely want you to share the love! We just ask that every member of your party purchase a ticket.
The opening gala will take place within The Valentine’s Museum. Exact location to be confirmed soon!
Sadly, we can’t pull it off in both locations. BUT! If you’ve attended previously in Utah, bring proof and we’ll let you in free in NYC!
The gala stands apart because it’s
- A formal dress code with a red carpet entrance and professional photographers
- The first guests to see the museum
- Special performances, activities, and treats available on this one night only!
If you’d like to attend the museum anytime between Jan 31-Feb 15, get tickets here.

Glad you asked
