The Queens Museum structure was built as the New York City Building – to house the New York City Pavilion at the 1939 World’s Fair. The building was directly adjacent to the great icons of the Fair, the Trylon and Perisphere, and it was one of the few buildings created for the Fair that were intended to be permanent. It is now the only surviving building from the 1939 World’s Fair. One of the proudest periods in the history of the New York City Building was from 1946 to 1950 when it housed the General Assembly of the newly formed United Nations. Today, that original building has been transformed. Join Justin as we tour some of the current exhibitions in this newly expanded Queens Museum. In addition, we’ll have the opportunity to view some of the museum’s several beloved ongoing exhibitions.
We will visit the Panorama of the City of New York – the jewel in the crown of the collection of the Queens Museum of Art.
Now on display in the new wing of the Queens Museum is the ever-beloved Egon and Hildegard Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass. The inaugural exhibition for the gallery is Shade Garden: Floral Lamps from the Tiffany Studios, which features 20 lamps exemplifying Tiffany’s masterful translation of nature into glass.
The Queens Museum will always be inextricably linked to the 1939 and 1964 World’s Fairs, and now on display is a collection of more than 10,000 objects pertaining to the two expositions.
After our visit to the Queens Museum, we’ll take a brief walking tour of this vibrant public space to learn about the remaining landmarks from the World’s Fairs, and the incredible history of two of New York’s most important cultural events.

Watches brands can capitalize on each moment. For example a toothpaste advertiser can congratulate every winner of an watches uk store award show, as they accept their trophies and show off their pearly white smiles. Trends start at fashion week and make their way all across the Omega replica watches store fashion world, beginning with famous international designers like Vera Wang and Marc Jacobs and replica watches eventually making their way down to the clothes sold at all kinds of stores, from Gap to Topshop to Target. If a high-end label waits six months before its lines arrive in the fake Rolex shop, it risks looking dated as the replica watches internet and the High Street have long ago been there and done that.
