  1. Green-Wood Cemetery

    • Located in Brooklyn, Green-Wood Cemetery has the ultimate monument to Leonard Bernstein as he is interred there. Buried on Oct. 16, 1990, Bernstein's grave is in Lot 43642 and Section G. A simple bench marks where his remains are buried.

      The cemetery is open for visitors from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (two of the entrances close at 4 p.m.). Visitors are asked to be respectful of other guests mourning their loved ones and of funerals that may be taking place. Photography is permitted, but videography is prohibited.

    The Norton Lectures

    • While not technically a physical location, the Norton Lectures are a collection of lectures that Bernstein shared with his students during his tenure as the Charles Eliot Norton professor at Harvard University. He refers to several musical theories and examples during these lectures, making them a particularly detailed resource for musicians and historians. Copies of the lectures can be found both at Harvard University and online on the official Bernstein website (see Resources).

    Leonard Bernstein Center

    • The Leonard Bernstein Center for Learning is a K-12 school based in Nashville. Teachers with the school use the artistic process in teaching all subjects. The school was founded in 1992, and it uses what it calls the "Artful Learning" model, which allows students to experience, inquire, create and reflect.
