The Skyscraper Museum

The Skyscraper Museum, located in Battery Park City, was founded in the mid-1990s to document and interpret high-rise buildings, urban development, and the cultural history of tall buildings, with rotating exhibitions on architectural history and model displays. The museum mounts exhibitions, public programs, and publications that examine New York City's skyline, engineering innovations, and planning issues related to skyscrapers. It serves as a specialized resource for scholars, designers, and members of the public interested in vertical urbanism.
