Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the site of the famous World's Fairs in 1939 and 1964, offers a unique blend of history and modern exploration. The Queens Museum hosts the Panorama of the City of New York, which presents a detailed model at a scale of one inch to 100 feet. This impressive installation provides visitors with a bird's eye view of the city, encapsulating its grandeur and intricacies as one cohesive landscape rather than in fragmented parts.
