Queens Museum of Art

The Queens Museum of Art is a major art museum in the Queens borough of New York City.

The museum occupies a structure originally built to be the New York City exhibit in the 1964 New York World's Fair, which was the second World's Fair to be held in Flushing Meadows Park, a park designed and built primarily to host the first World's Fair under the primary leadership of Robert Moses, often called "New York City's Master Builder". The museum holds several noteworthy and highly-regarded works of art but is probably best-known for its being the site of a large model of New York City, built to scale and periodically updated to reflect the city's ever-changing face.
