Publisher excerpt
I visited the Museum of the City of New York today and got to see He Built This City: Joe Macken’s Model , the 50 x27 feet model of the city built over a 21 year period from balsa wood and cardboard. It exceeded my already high expectations. The exhibition closes on 12th October so you should absolutely make a priority to see it if you get the chance. Tags: museums , new-york
