Queens Museum

Set on the grounds of the New York World’s Fairs, the museum connects the borough’s past to the present through community-rooted art and regional history. While famed for the sprawling model commissioned for the 1964 World's Fair—which still features the original Twin Towers—the collection also displays the detailed Relief Map of the New York City Water Supply System. Alongside these permanent miniature works, the galleries cycle through changing exhibitions and occasional live cultural performances.
