Review:
The Queens Museum is the borough's premiere art and history museum, located within Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. The pay-what-you-can-admission museum was originally founded in 1972 and is located within the New York City Building, constructed as part of the 1939 New York World's Fair. Permanent collections showcase more than 10,000 items, with more than half made up of artifacts and artwork related to the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs. Major exhibits on display include the massive Panorama of the City of New York, which was designed for the 1964 Fair and depicts the city's five boroughs. Other attractions include archives of photography related to 20th-century city commissioner Robert Moses, Daily News Archive crime scene photographs, and court reporter drawings by cartoonist William Sharp.
