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 building then served as the first home of the United Nations General Assembly, and later housed the New York City exhibit in the 1964 New York World's Fair . The museum holds several noteworthy and highly-regarded works of art but is probably best-known for its being the site of a large model of New York City, built to scale and periodically updated to reflect the city's ever-changing face.
