My first visit to the Queens Museum sometime last year. I was flipping through some (blurry) images I took of the New York Panorama Exhibit recently and decided to find better images of it to share. The Panorama of The City of New York was originally built for the 1964 World's Fair. I was pretty amazed at this massive architectural model of virtually every detail of the city. Additions have been added over the years (including a model of Citifield in 2009). It's an exhibit that's easily forgotten when living here in New York. But it really is a sight to se if you haven't already.

these photos are great, i've been wanting to check out the Queens Museum for awhile. Did you know that last year they made it possible to "buy" an apartment, monument, or tourist attraction within the panorama so that they can raise money to update it.
ReplyDeleteare these the same images from their site?
ReplyDeleteYes, the photos are from the site. I just added the credit. I thought I already included that info.
