Queens Museum
New York City Building, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens, NY 11368
Join us for a weekend focused on architecture and urban design, as Queens Museum takes part in the 13th Annual Open House New York weekend, organized by Open House New York. Housed in the historic New York City Building, site of both the 1939 and 1964-65 World’s Fairs and the first home of the United Nations, the Queens Museum has become the principal center for modern and contemporary art in the borough as well home to a collection of world’s fair memorabilia.
The New York City Panorama, built by Robert Moses for the 1964-64 World’s Fair is the crown jewel of the Museum’s collection. This 9,335 square foot architectural model includes 895,000 buildings in all five boroughs. The Museum also houses a model of NYC’s watershed and the exhibit “From Watersheds to Faucets: The Marvel of New York City’s Water Supply System.”
