Queens Museum
museum
Queens art museum in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, home to the Panorama of the City of New York.
Description
The Queens Museum occupies the New York City Building, a 1939 World's Fair pavilion that later housed the United Nations General Assembly. Changing contemporary exhibitions share the building with The Panorama of the City of New York, a 9,335 square foot architectural model of all five boroughs built for the 1964 fair. More than 895,000 buildings constructed before 1992 stand at a scale of one inch to 100 feet, and a sloping ramp lets visitors trace their own street, bridge and first apartment at eye level.
