In 1925, Harold Ross, The New Yorker’s founding editor, envisioned a magazine of wit, reporting, fiction, art, and criticism—“a reflection in word and picture of metropolitan life.” A century later, The New Yorker is still known for its capacity to surprise, delight, and inform with accuracy and depth. Please join us in celebrating a hundred years of the magazine, and enjoy special centenary issues, curated archival collections, exhibits and events, and more.
