New York Sign Museum Tour
Join us for a curated and guided tour of the New York Sign Museum at Noble Signs
As the 2026 NYCxDESIGN Festival brings thousands of designers and creative professionals to New York City, AIGA NY has teamed up with Noble Signs and the New York Sign Museum for a special behind-the-scenes tour of this working sign studio and historic collection.
Join AIGA NY for an intimate look into the craft, history, and daily operations of a traditional sign-making workshop, where rescued storefront signage and contemporary fabrication exist side by side.
Participants will explore the museum’s growing collection alongside Noble Signs’ active production floor, offering a rare opportunity to see how signage is preserved, restored, and created in real time.
Ticket proceeds go to support New York Sign Museum and AIGA New York.
This tour is limited to 30 spots.
