MUSEUM & GUIDED TOURS


Inside The Museum at Bethel Woods

Step Into 1969

You're standing on hallowed ground. Bethel Woods sits on the historic site of the 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Fair, and The Museum at Bethel Woods brings the legends of the 1960s to life.

Some visit to relive their own journey to Woodstock; others come to experience it for the first time. Inside more than 6,000 square feet of immersive exhibits, you'll hear the echo of 450,000 voices chanting "no rain," discover the stories of people who were actually there, and explore the decade through artifacts, films, music — and even a hippie bus. You'll leave inspired not just by history's most legendary three-day festival, but by ideals that still resonate today.

Want to go deeper? Walk the famous festival field where nearly half a million gathered, or join a guided tour led by a certified Woodstock expert.

Concert-day discount: Show your concert ticket for discounted Museum admission — just $10 in advance or $12 at the door, valid the day of the show through noon the following day. The Museum is open daily 10 AM–5 PM, with extended hours on show days.
