To ensure the health and safety of visitors and staff, interactive technologies—including the Pen and touch screens—are temporarily unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience.

When you visit Cooper Hewitt, museum staff will hand you a Pen at the admissions desk and explain how to use it by following these simple steps:

• Use the pointed end to draw on interactive tables.
• Use the flat end to save: align the collect symbols and press.
• When you are ready to leave, drop your Pen in the return box at the museum entrance.
• At home or on your mobile device you can access your visit at cooperhewitt.org/you. Enter the code printed on your admission ticket to see everything you collected and created.
