The New York Historical is bringing back its Designing Women Market on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission to the market is free.

The market is run by the NYHistory Store, the museum's shop, and is billed as a curated marketplace for products by women makers, designers and entrepreneurs. Expect jewelry, textiles, accessories, quality crafts and more. The museum describes it as a popular twice-yearly event and invites visitors to come and meet the makers in person.

The market takes place on the first floor in the Robert H. and Clarice Smith New York Gallery of American History, known as the Smith Gallery. To regulate capacity, all attendees must register for timed entry through Eventbrite. On arrival, visitors check in at the registration table in the Smith Gallery and receive a badge that gives them access to the market.

The badge covers the market only. Visitors who also want to see the museum's galleries need to buy admission tickets. The museum offers two-for-one admission to guests who spend $25 at the market.

The New York Historical is at 170 Central Park West at Richard Gilder Way (77th Street), on the Upper West Side. On Saturdays the museum and store are open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
