Am I missing something or did I go to the wrong place? Today I went to the QMA and it was closed due to an asbestos cleanup. It was the building right next to the Unisphere and it was all closed up. But this page says nothing about it being closed. I wanted to see the Panorama and was very disappointed.

Hi LaRue. I’m sorry about your experience. A few people have had similar luck. The museum is located in one half of the NYC Building and I think you may have wound up at the other end. The entrance you found yourself at was formerly an ice rink and is now being transformed into an additional 50,000 square feet of beautiful galleries for the museum. If you should come back to the museum and try again - which I hope you will - please enter on the north side of the building (with the Unisphere behind you, proceed to the right side of the building). Again, sorry for the confusion and I hope you give us another try.
