Second Graders Visit the Queens Museum and The Museum of the City of NY
Second graders gained wonderful insights and observations regarding architecture and city planning. This knowledge will be translated into the unique buildings that will comprise each child's city block. We look forward to viewing the completed construction of their model city blocks and Panorama.
The Panorama of the City of New York is a "site" to see of the collection of the Queens Museum. This exhibit is a celebration of the City’s municipal infrastructure by urban mastermind and World’s Fair President Robert Moses for the 1964 Fair.
