	Queens Museum of Art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Queens Museum of Art is a major art museum in the Queens borough of New York City, USA.
		The museum occupies a structure originally built for the 1939 New York World's Fair, held in Flushing Meadows Park, a park designed and built primarily to host the fair, under the primary leadership of Robert Moses, often called "New York City's Master Builder".
		The museum holds several noteworthy and highly-regarded works of art but is probably best-known for its being the site of a large panoramic model of New York City, built to scale and periodically updated to reflect the city's ever-changing face.

		A $36 million plan to double the size of the Queens Museum of Art may lead to its becoming the first art museum in the country with a public library inside, officials say.
		Tom Finkelpearl, the museum's executive director, told the Daily News last week that a proposal is being considered to place a branch of the Queens Library inside the New York City Building, which has housed the museum since 1972.
		Every museum needs at least two hours of activities for people to do in order to make it worthwhile for them to come, Finkelpearl said, and that would be accomplished with more exhibitions, a library, a cafe and a bookstore.

		The stage set-like installation at the Queens Museum included props from the performance and a double video projection in which a nonlinear narrative mined--and then mimed--the story of Helen while feverishly reconfiguring its familiar fundamental details in relentlessly unfaithful fashion.
		These views of a semifantastical Egypt are narrated in a recording of Jonas, who alternates reading excerpts from H.D.'s Helen in Egypt and the poet's Tribute to Freud, in which she recounts her sessions with the infamous psychoanalyst.
		QMA director of exhibitions Valerie Smith's smart decision to avoid going the retrospective route probably had something to do with a similar kind of ripple effect.
