Queens Museum

The Queens Museum stands as a vibrant cultural hub in the heart of one of the most diverse urban communities in the world. Situated in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, the Museum is deeply rooted in the rich social and cultural landscape of Queens, New York. With a mission to serve the borough’s dynamic population, the Museum presents an inclusive mix of exhibitions, educational programs, and public events that reflect and celebrate its surroundings.

The Museum’s programming is designed to connect with a wide range of audiences, from long-time residents to recent immigrants. By highlighting contemporary art alongside historical narratives, the Queens Museum offers a space where global perspectives and local stories intersect. Its exhibitions frequently explore pressing social issues, urban development, immigration, and identity, providing a platform for dialogue and creative expression.

Education and community engagement are central to the Museum’s mission. Through artist-led workshops, school partnerships, and bilingual programs, the Museum ensures access to art for people of all ages and backgrounds. These initiatives empower individuals to engage meaningfully with art while fostering a sense of shared ownership and cultural pride.

In response to evolving social realities, the Queens Museum has embraced its role as a space of care—supporting not only artists and staff but also the broader community. This commitment is reflected in its efforts to remain open, adaptable, and deeply responsive to the needs of those it serves.

The Museum’s unique site—once home to the New York City Pavilion of the 1939 and 1964 World’s Fairs—adds historical depth to its mission. Today, it continues to honor that legacy by acting as a beacon for innovation, inclusion, and creative exploration. The Queens Museum invites all visitors to experience art in a way that is personal, powerful, and profoundly connected to community.
