aurore quercyDecember 4, 2014The New York city model is unbelievable, worth the trip to queens. Build t in 1964 it was Renovated in1992, that's why you can see the twin towers and battery park cityUpvoted 3 days ago
Mark HeyertFebruary 4, 2018A great museum. Besides being located in the middle of an awesome urban park it has a very eclectic exhibition schedule. As always check out the NYC panorama made by Columbia University students.
Justin OrdovezaDecember 16, 2016It's a small museum. The best part is definitely the diorama of New York City circa 1992. The Tiffany lamps are stunning, there's a few dozen examples here.
Teachers College Student AffairsJuly 1, 2013Designed by Robert Moses, “The Panorama of the City of New York” is compulsory viewing for anyone living in the city: a 9,335 square foot model of the city's 320 square miles and 895,000 buildings.
Minhee ChoDecember 10, 2018The museum was pretty underwhelming. There were only 3-4 random exhibits. We probably finished walking through everything in about 30min. Luckily the admission is suggested + the view outside is👌🏻
Upvoted Mar 13- Alex FNovember 17, 2017The Panorama of New York is worth seeing alone. However, the space is light and airy and the exhibits are interesting. Right out the back window is the globe left over from the 1964-65 World’s Fair.
A L E XJuly 19, 2015The exhibits here are wonderful. The facility is small but packed with something to enjoy. They even have a glass staircase (ala Apple Store).
Denis FitzgeraldNovember 9, 2013Check out the pUN exhibit and obviously the panorama. Renovated museum looks great. This museum connects with the community. A special place.
- Fodor's TravelAugust 21, 2015The Queens Museum underwent a $69 million expansion a year and a half ago that doubled the institution's size with expanded galleries, a new sky-lit atrium, and artist studio wing.
NYC: The Official GuideDecember 26, 2012The three-dimensional map of New York, the Panorama, is a must-see attraction. It was constructed for the 1964 World’s Fair and is regularly updated for viewing.
Tim VetterMarch 31, 2013If you come with your friends to gawk at the NYC Panorama, bring a laser pointer so you can point out landmarks to each other.
Caitlin ClementsOctober 8, 2017When Elliot goes on walkabout following his discovery of Mr. Robot’s true identity, Darlene and Angela seek him out at one of his favorite spots: overlooking the Queens Museum’s iconic Panorama.
Jimmy ChrabiehNovember 9, 2014After visiting the Hemisphere don't forget to visit Panorama in the queens museum. It's impressive and absolutely free!
Rebecca BalnisNovember 21, 2018Little known fact, the museum hosts a record swap! I snagged a few records after checking out the Ramones exhibit!
Time Out New YorkJune 28, 2013This edifice is among the most storied landmarks that once housed the United Nations. It was constructed for the 1939 World’s Fair and hosted exhibits for both that event and the one in 1964. Read more
The Corcoran GroupDecember 12, 2011Make the trek just for the New York City Panorama – it’s absolutely worth it. Afterwards, take a stroll around the Unisphere and the World’s Fair Pavilion.- Nate FolkertFebruary 22, 2017hosts a panorama of nyc, a scale model of the whole city http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/a-panorama-view-of-new-york-city
Malcolm ChangNovember 2, 2018Great exhibits, including the New York Panorama. and right next to Flushing Meadows Corona park and the 1954 World Fair Site.
Katherine CorsonMarch 10, 2014If you visit for the exhibits, check the events calendar first - there was loud music playing and could be heard all throughout the museum!- Ditto what others say: the Panorama is a must see. I love how artists regularly interact w/ the model of NYC to give it new meanings. And I appreciate QMA's commitment to immigrant, POC, LGBT artists.
- NYC: The Official GuideJuly 1, 2013The Panorama is a must-see. It’s a 3-D map of all of New York City. Fun fact: Queens Museum’s building was once housed the General Assembly of the United Nations.
Albert LiMarch 31, 2016They have a variety of modern art and the best scaled down architecture of NYC
Clara LuNovember 22, 2015Spend a bit of time oogling over the panorama, and watch for the plane landing and departing from LaGuardia airport!
Sweta MohapatraNovember 14, 2014Go see the model of New York City. It's a little outdated but the scale and detail are beautiful.
BLOUIN ARTINFOJuly 2, 2010This jewel of a museum sports a 9,335-square-foot model of New York called the Panorama, making its choice art exhibitions icing on its curatorial cake.
Mike BloombergOctober 30, 2013Today, I was here to cut the ribbon on the Queens Museum of Art expansion.
- Mike BloombergApril 9, 2012On 4/12/11, I was here to break ground on the Queens Museum of Art expansion. More details on the expansion are available here: http://bit.ly/HCb0Y5
Melissa Holtzer-JonasSeptember 26, 2011I could have stared at the panorama for hours. It should be a NYC rite of passage to come here and try to find your apartment. I also found the Detroit photography exhibit facinating.
Eric EdmondsonMay 6, 2018The ArtAccess program is among the best art classes I have attended. Very good techniques, and sometimes educational too. Would most certainly recommend to anyone in the area who may be interested.- Denis FitzgeraldFebruary 16, 2010Panorama is a must see. Wonderful resource. Great location (and cool t-shirts in gift store).
