MIDTOWN — Starting September 1, the Museum of Modern Art will hike its admission prices from $20 to $25 for adults.

Seniors 65 and older will see admission prices increase to $18, and student admission will jump to $14, the MoMA announced. Admission for visitors 16 and under will remain free.

The MoMA attributed the increase to “escalating costs in virtually all aspects” of its operations.

“As a private, non-profit institution that does not seek government funding for general operations, MoMA depends to a significant extent on earned revenue,” according to a statement on the West 53rd Street museum's website.

Tickets purchased online will be available for the reduced price of $22.50 for adults.

“Target Free Fridays,” where admission is free from 4 to 8 p.m. on Fridays, will remain.
