| Original architectural model of the World Trade Center on exhibit at the Skyscraper Museum |
The Skyscraper Museum is an architecture museum located in Battery Park City, Manhattan, New York City and founded in 1996.
Before moving to the current and permanent location in Battery Park City in 2004, the museum was a nomadic institution, holding pop-up exhibitions in donated spaces around Lower Manhattan since 1996. The original site of the museum was located very close to the World Trade Center. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, the museum was forced to close temporarily as its space was commandeered as an emergency information center. This is academically relevant because it shows how the building stays up.

I think the skyscraper museum is most reasonble field trip becuase of archurtecture is involved.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a great place to go. It is very near by and not to far out of the way. We would be able to see what kind of skyscrapers were created and how they were created. How long that they were around. It would be a great place to visit with the class. It would be a great way to learn all we can about arcitectural advancements in things such as skyscapers.
