Queens Museum: Art, History, and Community Hub

Located in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the Queens Museum is more than just an art museum; it's a dynamic space where art, history, and community converge. Established in 1972, the museum occupies the New York City Building, a structure originally built for the 1939 World's Fair. This building also served as the home of the United Nations General Assembly from 1946 to 1950 and was later part of the 1964 World's Fair. The museum's collection includes artifacts from both the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs, offering a glimpse into the city's past. One of its most iconic exhibits is the Panorama of the City of New York, a breathtaking scale model of all five boroughs. This model was originally created for the 1964 World's Fair and continues to captivate visitors of all ages. In addition to its historical exhibits, the Queens Museum also features contemporary art exhibitions with broad cultural and historical significance. The museum also hosts pieces from the Egon and Hildegard Neustadt Museum Collection of Tiffany lamps and windows. The Queens Museum is committed to serving the diverse communities of Queens through educational programs, community engagement, and a wide range of exhibitions.
