The World's Best Table of New York Museum Hours

I'm embarrassed to admit how many times I've gone to the Whitney on a Friday morning, or the Guggenheim on a Thursday. Let's just say they were closed enough times that I decided to make a table of the hours of all the major New York museums. For your convenience, I'm sharing it with you.

Caveats: 

• The hours are accurate as of now – but they change. For the most up-to-date information, check the museum website. (The names of the museums are hyperlinks to their websites.)
• This post will not be updated, but the table will be available in the right sidebar under the heading "Gallery and Museum Guides," and I will try to keep that one current. 
• The best table to print is the one in the sidebar. If you're having trouble, copy and paste it to a blank document. 
• "Free" doesn't really mean free – I used it as a shorthand for "pay what you wish."
• I don't know why there are weird quirks in the formatting, like that line between the Jewish Museum and its address. Google Blogger HTML for this table is incredibly complicated, and there's nothing I can do to fix it.
