Queens Museum
The Queens Museum occupies the New York City Building, originally built for the 1939 World's Fair in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, and is best known for its magnificent Panorama of the City of New York — a scale model of all five boroughs that is updated to reflect the ever-changing cityscape. The museum focuses on art and urban issues relevant to the culturally diverse Queens community.
