Queens Museum Panorama: Special Micro-Episode!
Friday Oct 19, 2012
Friday Oct 19, 2012
The Queens Museum of Art, in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, has the coolest thing you've never seen: The Panorama of the City of New York. It's a model of the whole damn city-- all 5 boroughs. It contains every building in the city built before 1992 (the year it was last updated). It was built by (who else?) Robert Moses for the 1964-1965 World's Fair. It took 3 years to create, has over 895,000 structures, and had a margin of error less than 1%. Kate and Kathleen tell you all about it in this special micro-episode. It is definitely worth the long subway ride to see it. See more pics on our Facebook page! Jeremiah Moss's excellent blog post about "New York Paleotectonic", which he describes as "the final resting place where removed Panorama pieces are interred". It's the first of three great posts that were very helpful in researching this episode. Wonderstruck is an amazing children's book by Brian Selznick. A good part of the action is set in the Panorama. If you go to see the Panorama, Kate and Kathleen STRONGLY recommend going to the Nan Xiang Dumpling House after, a 20-25 min walk from the museum. Get the steamed pork dumplings and the fish and salt cabbage soup.
