Decide on a few must-see attractions, and then let the city take you on its own ride. Inevitably, as you make your way around the city, you’ll be blown off course by unplanned diversions that are just as much fun as what you meant to see. After all, the true New York is in the details. As you dash from sight to sight, take time to admire a cornice on a prewar build- ing, linger over a cup of coffee at a cafe, or just idle away a few min- utes on a bench watching New Yorkers parade through their daily lives. 1 The Top Attractions American Museum of Natural History This is one of the hottest museum tickets in town, thanks to the Rose Center for Earth and Space , whose four-story-tall planetarium sphere hosts the Harrison Ford–narrated Space Show “Are We Alone?,” the most technologically advanced sky show on the planet. Prepare to be blown away. The show is short—less than a half-hour from start to finish—but phenomenal. (New York magazine has called it “the world’s largest, most powerful virtual-reality simulator.”) Buy your tickets in advance for the Space Show in order to guarantee admission (they’re available online); I also recommend buying tickets in advance for a specific IMAX film or special exhi- bition, such as the Butterfly Conservatory (see below), especially during peak seasons (summer, autumn, holiday time) and for week- end visits; otherwise, you might miss out. Other must-sees include the Big Bang Theater, which re-creates the theoreticalCOPYRIGHTED birth of the universe; the Hall MATERIALof the Universe, with 1 its very own 15 ⁄2-ton meteorite; and the Hall of Planet Earth, which focuses on the geologic processes of our home planet (great volcano display!). You’ll need a minimum of 2 hours to fully explore the Rose Center. Tip: Friday night is a great time to plan your visit, as the center isn’t overcrowded, live jazz and food fill the Hall of the Universe, and, bathed in blue light, the sphere looks magical. 08_598287 ch05.qxd 10/20/05 1:53 PM Page 125 THE TOP ATTRACTIONS 125 Value A Money- & Time-Saving Tip CityPass just may be New York’s best sightseeing deal. Pay one price ($53, or $41 for kids 12–17) for admission to six major Big Apple attractions: The American Museum of Natural History (admission only; does not include Space Show); the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; the Empire State Building; the Intre- pid Sea-Air-Space Museum; the Museum of Modern Art; and a 2-hour Circle Line harbor cruise. Purchased individually, you’d spend more than twice as much. More important, CityPass is not a coupon book. It contains actual admission tickets, so you can bypass ticket lines. This can save you hours, since popular sights such as the Empire State Building often have ticket lines of an hour or more. CityPass is good for 9 days from the first time you use it. It’s sold at all participating attractions and online at www.city pass.net. To avoid online service and shipping fees, you may buy the pass at your first attraction (start at an attraction that’s likely to have the shortest line, such as the Guggenheim or the Whitney, or arrive before opening to avoid a wait at such spots as the Empire State Building). However, if you begin your sightseeing on a weekend or during holidays, when lines are longest, online purchase may be worthwhile. For more information call CityPass at & 208/787-4300 (note, however, that CityPass is not sold over the phone). The rest of the 4-square-block museum is nothing to sneeze at. Founded in 1869, it houses the world’s greatest natural science col- lection in a group of buildings made of towers and turrets, pink granite and red brick. The diversity of the holdings is astounding: some 36 million specimens, ranging from microscopic organisms to the world’s largest cut gem, the Brazilian Princess Topaz (21,005 carats). Rose Center aside, it would take you all day to see the entire museum, and then you still wouldn’t get to everything. If you don’t have a lot of time, you can see the best of the best on free highlights tours offered daily every hour at 15 minutes after the hour from 10:15am to 3:15pm. Free daily spotlight tours, thematic tours that change monthly, are also offered; stop by an information desk for the day’s schedule. Audio Expeditions, high-tech audio tours that allow you to access narration in the order you choose, are also avail- able to help you make sense of it all. 08_598287 ch05.qxd 10/20/05 1:53 PM Page 126 Downtown Attractions UUnionnion .

  • Brightsign Statue of Liberty Museum Case Study FINAL
    BrightSign Media Players Deliver Immersive Experiences at New Statue of Liberty Museum While Protecting AV Infrastructure Against Unexpected Downtime The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc. recently completed a $100M beautification project on Liberty Island – the centerpiece of which was construction of the new Statue of Liberty Museum. The five-year project entailed close collaboration with the National Park Service/U.S. Department of the Interior to design and construct the 26,000-square- foot museum, whose stone-and-glass construction embraces modern design while seamlessly blending with the island’s timeless beauty. Exhibit designer ESI Design brought in AV integrator Diversified to design and implement the museum’s extensive AV network. Diversified project manager Carol Feeley-Vario commented on how the museum’s location heavily influenced her firm’s approach to the project: “While Liberty Island may appear as if it’s just a stone’s throw away from New York City, we needed to bear in mind the practical remoteness of the site. Any service visit would require working within the parameters of ferry schedules and visitation hours – which is why we went to great lengths to build redundancies into the system that would all but eliminate the need to conduct repairs on-site.” With network reliability as a top priority, Diversified deployed more than 80 BrightSign media players at various points in the museum. And while BrightSign’s hardware is responsible for distributing content to dozens of displays throughout the museum, perhaps the most critical role BrightSign plays in the museum is that of fail-over.

  • Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum the Cold War Through the Collections of the Intrepid Museum NEH Summer Institute Proposal
    NEH Summer Institute for Teachers: The Cold War through the Collections of the Intrepid Museum Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum/ Project Narrative Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum The Cold War through the Collections of the Intrepid Museum NEH Summer Institute Proposal, Summer 2020 Project Director: Dr. Lynda Kennedy Introduction The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum’s Education Department proposes a two-week Summer Institute for classroom teachers from July 20 to July 31, 2020. The Institute, previously offered in Summer 2018, embodies the principles of the NEH Standing Together initiative through the use of two historic sites—the former U.S. aircraft carrier Intrepid, a National Historic Landmark, and the former U.S. submarine, Growler, a unique artifact that represents the technology and tensions of the Cold War. These historic sites, along with the oral histories of the men that served on these vessels, will provide a powerful starting point for examining the history and legacy of Cold War technology. The Cold War through the Collections of the Intrepid Museum will immerse teachers in scholarly historical research as well as the history, artifacts and oral histories in the Museum’s collection that embody the Cold War era. Integrating content exploring the historical context of technological innovation, the Institute will serve a national group of 25 high school history and science teachers in order to deepen their understanding and increase confidence in their ability to explore the subject thoroughly, critically and engagingly with their students. Dr. Lynda Kennedy, vice president of education and evaluation for the Intrepid Museum, will serve as a Project Director for the Institute.
