The art collection here was pretty cool. The best part however of this museum is the giant NYC map room which is a 3D map of the city in a gigantic room with a walkway above around the edge of the room. You look down and can see familiar landmarks such as Central Park, Bronx Zoo, Prospect Park, Coney Island, and it even has the twin towers there since this 3D map is from the 90s I believe. Very intricately detailed and such a cool experience walking around there. It’s also very cool and admission is free so you are free to enter and have a look around as much as you want. There is free parking around there too, multiple lots. There was one exhibit of weird naked stuff that I don’t understand how they can think of it as art. Not so fun trying to get my 5 year old to stop looking at it!! It’s not even artistic nakedness. It’s like weird adult images. That exhibit wasn’t there last time I visited so I’m assuming it’s temporary but visitors can feel free to not visit that exhibit although it’s a little difficult as it’s in the middle of a huge room that you must walk through to access other exhibits.
I went there on Sunday afternoon. The structure of the museum is quite big but it has only few artworks inside. The thing that I really didn’t like was the selection of artists inside. I would recommend to get a stronger curator and think wisely what to show. Some of the shows are not even art . I wouldn’t go back.. but maybe for a first visit can be nice
Panoramic model of NYC was excellent! World’s Fair exhibit and Tiffany Lamps exhibits were also very good. Friendly staff and nice bathrooms. Buy tickets in advance. Free on Sundays.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entryFree
Love this place. Such a great place that celebrates Queens and NYC. The permanent exhibits are great and the rotating exhibits always delight. Great for children and adults. The gift shop offers unique items and the cafe is reasonable
On the plus side, there was no entrance fee on the day we visited, and some of the permanent exhibitions were worth seeing. However, much of the museum is under renovation, and many exhibitions are unavailable. Also, don't expect the park outside to be quiet and peaceful. If you go on a Sunday, expect it to be crowded.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entryFree
Hidden gem of queens. I've been meaning to go to this museum ever since I drove past it years ago. I just never knew how to get there. I ended up going and learning so much about the area and about the world fair. I wish this would be possible again but I don't forsee that happening. If you have the time on a Sunday definitely go take a look and take a walk outside once your done
Great museum to visit for contemporary art and for some of Queens and NY history of Expo. I like the comfy couch in the main concourse. You can also take a nice walk in flushing meadows park.
Love it, can't wait until they finish the rest of the new additions. Friendly staff and clean, a lot of the rooms are under constructing but it should not deter anyone from visiting. They have a very cool detailed map of NYC boroughs and Tiffany's glass and lamps and how it was made.
Loved seeing the scale model of Manhattan from the 1964 World’s fair. Definitely a must-do to pop in. Beautiful building. This is not the scale of a MOMA, etc. but a small museum that will take maybe just over an hour and still leave you with positive impact and joy.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
Strolled in looking for the restroom and was impressed with the South African exhibit by Tracy Rose. I will be returning to explore the museum in full.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
