📢 This is the last weekend to catch “A Billion Dollar Dream: The 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair on its 60th Anniversary”!

🌐 By considering the impact of the 1964-65 as both a market-driven and socio-cultural propagandistic tool, this presentation reframes the impact of the Fair by placing its often-discussed imaginative innovation within a larger historical framework – and it's only on view through this Sunday, 07.13.

🚰 Did you know that QM is home to a giant map of the NYC Water Supply System? The Relief Map shows the city's reservoirs, rivers, and aqueduct routes that were in use shortly before the 1939–1940 New York .

📦 Created by the Department of Water Supply, Gas, and Electricity, it spans 540 square feet — but the model was too big for the allotted space at the Fair. After decades in storage, the 27-piece relief map was in desperate need of conservation. The model was sent to McKay Lodge Fine Arts Conservation Lab in Oberlin, Ohio and restored to its original dazzling state. Since 2008, in collaboration with the NYC Department of Environmental Protection, the map has been in its originally intended home in the New York City Building.

Check out the map during your next visit to the Museum!

💫 This month, we've been reflecting on the five year anniversary of a historic moment at the Museum: in June 2020, QM opened its doors not just as an art institution, but as a beacon of hope. The Cultural Food Pantry by La Jornada was born, feeding 1,000 families every Wednesday, and over 100,000 families across 3.5 years. This was more than food distribution — it was a movement of dignity, mutual aid, and cultural resistance.

Our community filled the Museum with life, organizing support programs, sharing vital resources, and reminding us that museums belong to the people. Earlier this month, we gathered with 100 volunteers to honor this incredible legacy. To every volunteer, partner, and neighbor: thank you for showing the world what community power looks like.

🎥 Have you seen the new documentary that explores the life and work of artist Mierle Laderman Ukeles? "Maintenance Artist," a film by Toby Perl Freilich (), is showing at the Film Festival, and you can catch the last screening tomorrow afternoon! The groundbreaking documentary chronicles Ukeles' career, spotlighting her role as the first-ever artist-in-residence and highlighting two major moments at Queens Museum!

👀 In 2016, we presented "Mierle Laderman Ukeles: Maintenance Art", the first survey of the artist's work spanning five decades. And in 2020, the facade of the Museum was home to "For ⟶ forever…", an installation that was both a response to the pandemic and a continuation of Ukeles’ long-standing dedication to honoring the unending labor of NYC's public service workers through her artistic practice.

Visit to learn more about the film and get your ticket.
