Queens Museum

Queens Museum is an art museum in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park that presents contemporary works, photography, and installations across several galleries inside its large pavilion. The exhibitions rotate regularly and feature both local and international creators working in different media.

The building served as a pavilion during the 1939 World's Fair and later hosted the United Nations General Assembly from 1946 to 1951. After additional renovations, it opened as a museum in the 1970s and has been expanded several times since then.

The institution maintains partnerships with local artists and organizations to present exhibitions that reflect the diverse communities of Queens through various mediums and perspectives.

The museum is near the Mets-Willets Point subway station on the 7 line and offers reduced admission for students, seniors, and children under 18. Visitors can check the website before going to see which exhibitions are currently on view, as the program changes several times a year.

The Panorama of the City of New York is an architectural model covering more than 9,000 square feet (approximately 840 square meters) that shows every building constructed before 1992 in all five boroughs. Visitors can walk around an elevated platform and view the entire city in miniature, spotting details of individual neighborhoods.
