QUEENS MUSEUM

“World’s Fair Visible Storage”
Ongoing exhibit
Before it was known as the Queens Museum, it was the
New York City Building, which was used as the City’s
pavilion for the 1939-40 and 1964-65 World’s Fairs. In
this exhibit, visitors can peruse the over 10,000 objects
and artifacts from those exhibitions, but only about 900
of the objects are included in “The World’s Fair Visible
Storage” collection. The exhibit provides a one-of-a-kind
experience where museum goers can view items that
were formerly off-limits to the public.
